Dacic said that Ukraine supports the position of Serbia in the country, in partnership with Russia as a resource for resolution of conflicting provisions.

In Kiev, I discussed it with Mr. (Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel) Klimkin, and he said that the joint good relations with Russia is an advantage, not a disadvantage, If they will permit provisions. We represent no any other countries except Serbia, and We do not defend any country, We are committed to the principles of the OSCE, " said Dacic.
