Dacic: Sarac is one of the best career diplomats

11. Aug 2023.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today in a statement for Tanjug that Acting Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Bilateral Cooperation Irena Sarac is one of the best career diplomats and that her appointment as Assistant Minister had the undivided support of the employees.

Speaking in response to the negative press about her which appeared in some media outlets following the reports that she was a candidate for the Ambassador to Spain, he pointed out that it was unfortunate that "heinous lies" were being told about her, thus casting a shadow not only on her, but also the entire Ministry and the career diplomats working there.

"I reject that with disgust. And I absolutely stand behind her", Dacic said and added that the appointment of Sarac, in addition to her professional merits, was accompanied by a security check and a check to see if any proceedings were in progress against her.

He reminded that Irena Sarac herself sued all who published falsehoods about her and won that case.

"This is a person who has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for her entire professional life and discharged various responsible duties, while receiving recognition from our state authorities and representatives of the diplomatic corps for her efforts", Dacic concluded.
