Zelenskyy: Mutual support for territorial integrity and sovereignty is an important part of the partnership between Ukraine and Serbia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he had had a good conversation with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Athens regarding respect for the UN Charter and the inviolability of borders.

As stated on the official website of the Ukrainian President, "the parties noted that mutual support for territorial integrity and sovereignty is an important part of the partnership between Ukraine and Serbia."

"Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed his colleague about the situation on the battlefield and the actions of the Ukrainian army. The leaders discussed the most important issues of regional security, bilateral relations, and prospects for their development. The presidents also focused on common challenges on the path of Ukraine and Serbia to EU membership," the website reads.

As it is further emphasized, Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Aleksandar Vucic for the humanitarian assistance provided by Serbia to the Ukrainian people, as well as for the support of Ukrainians who have found refuge in this country from the war unleashed by the Russian Federation.

The President of Ukraine invited the Serbian side to support the Ukrainian Peace Formula and take part in the third summit of the international Crimea Platform on August 23.

Zelenskyy also wrote on the social network "X," formerly known as Twitter, that the meeting with Vucic had been open, honest, and fruitful.

"Good conversation on respect for the UN Charter and the inviolability of borders. On our nations' shared future in the common European home. On developing our relations, that is in our mutual interest," Zelenskyy stated.
