The outgoing Czech president sees both Serbia and Austria as possible mediators in the war in Ukraine. The 78-year-old said at a joint press conference with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić in Belgrade on Monday that it was an advantage that Serbia had not introduced sanctions against Moscow. Austria’s advantage would be its neutrality.
Vučić stressed that Belgrade and Prague are united in condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the need to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. “We have sent and will continue to send humanitarian aid and assistance (to Ukraine) and participate in the reconstruction of Ukrainian cities,” Vučić said.

He stressed that for Serbia “Donbass, Zaporizhia, Kherson and other regions are part of Ukraine” and that this is respected by “UN resolutions, order and UN charter”. He questioned why other countries “do not respect the UN order and resolution 1244”, which recognizes Serbia’s territorial integrity in Kosovo.
