Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic stated today that Serbia will not withdraw its Resolution on Kosovo-Metohija, which was submitted to the UN General Assembly, but added that we are prepared to talk constructively about everything.

Jeremic said at a joint news conference after meeting with German Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle that Serbia cannot stand behind a conclusion that could possibly be made, that would confirm Kosovo's independence.

The Minister expressed gratitude for German support to Serbia towards the EU and reiterated that our country could not become a member of the Union without Germany’s full support, which is of crucial importance.

Understanding between Berlin and Belgrade is better after today's meeting, he noted, but pointed out that he and his German counterpart have not achieved consensus on all issues which were discussed today.

The talks, in particular those concerning the future of the entire Western Balkans region, will continue, said the Minister adding that Serbia and Germany share a strategic vision for the integration of Serbia into the European family of nations – with no conflicts.

Westerwelle said that the EU opens up enormous opportunities for economic and every other development in Serbia, and that it is worth working intensively for that goal, showing flexibility and making concessions.

He said that the EU is a project that will be completed once all Western Balkan countries become members, which is the goal of Germany.

We want to expand economic ties and to invite businesses to invest and improve our mutual relations, said the German official.

Westerwelle reiterated that Germany supports Serbia's EU path and pointed out that it is therefore important to keep a balanced foreign and domestic policy.
