Minister Djuric at a reception on the occasion of NATO’s 75th anniversary

At the invitation of U.S. President Joseph Biden, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia Marko Djuric attended a reception in Washington, D.C., held to mark the 75th anniversary of NATO Alliance.

On that occasion, the head of Serbian diplomacy discussed current regional and international issues with representatives of member and partner countries.

Given that cooperation between Serbia and NATO takes place through the "Partnership for Peace" program, that Serbia has been party to since 2006, Djuric conveyed to his interlocutors that our country was committed to a policy of military neutrality, as well as its openness to further promoting the cooperation through mechanisms available within that program.

Emphasizing that Serbia, as an independent and sovereign state, looked after its national interests, the Minister also pointed out that our country was actively contributing to building peace and stability around the world by participating in numerous peacekeeping missions.

The Minister stated that Serbia, as a credible international actor, was ready to cooperate with foreign partners in preserving security and stability in the Western Balkans, as evidenced by the good cooperation maintained between the Serbian Armed Forces and the KFOR mission in Kosovo and Metohija.
