Details: The president of Serbia noted that he will meet with Zelenskyy at the request of the Ukrainian president.

Quote: "I will have a bilateral meeting with him, so I will sit down and talk with Zelenskyy privately about everything that has happened recently regarding the Republic of Kosovo, the recognition and non-recognition of territorial integrity and all other issues," he added.

Vučić expressed hope that the conversation with the Ukrainian president will be "nice and open".

He also announced an appeal to the citizens of Serbia, during which he will "openly talk about what is happening".

Background:
