British Minister for Europe David Lidington stated on Monday that the Great Britain understands the connections between Serbia and Russia, but added that it is in the interest of Serbia to continue its EU integration process.
There are many historical, cultural and religious links between Serbia and Russia and we understand that. However, it is a fact that Serbia has much greater trade with the EU than with Russia, Lidington said for Belgrade daily Blic.
As for the Serbian-British relations, the minister said they are good.
No one in Serbia is surprised that we support Kosovo’s statehood and its membership in regional and international organizations. We support the progress made in the dialogue to date, but we would like to see Serbia and Kosovo double their efforts towards further agreements, Lidington said.
