Dacic: Serbia backs fight against terrorism

BELGRADE - Serbia backs the fight against global terrorism and has a clear political position on the matter, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Sunday ahead of a trip to New York, where he will attend the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly.

"We are making changes to legal regulations that will enable us to punish people involved in conflicts around the world," Dacic said, adding that Serbia will strongly support the international fight against terrorism, including action against the Islamic State.

Speaking at a press conference, Dacic said that Serbia cannot take part in anti-terrorist air raids, but that it can assist the fight against terrorism in other ways - primarily through legislative changes, cooperation with the relevant security services of other countries, and possibly with arms shipments as well.
