Serbia–Ukraine relations

BELGRADE - The Serbian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday it remained committed to overcoming disagreements and enhancing bilateral relations with Ukraine despite the insistence by Ukraine's ambassador to Belgrade on the stance that Russia is using Serbia to create chaos and provoke a war in the Balkans.

Ukrainian FM Pavlo Klimkin has met with Ukrainian Ambassador to Serbia Oleksandr Aleksandrovych to discuss "current issues in bilateral relations."

Aleksandrovych was last week summoned to Kiev for consultations.

Serbian Defense Minister Zoran Djordjevic and U.S. Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott met in Belgrade "to discuss key aspects of bilateral military cooperation."

They also spoke about "overall development of relations between Serbia and the U.S.," the Ministry of Defense said.

Prime Minister Victor Ponta said on Thursday that Romania will call for visa lifting for the Ukrainian citizens "as soon as possible".
