Serbian FM Nikola Selakovic says the October 11-12 60th anniversary summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) will mark a return of the organisation to its “birthplace.”
In an interview published by Politika on Sunday, Selakovic noted that it could already be said the summit would be very successful, with officials of over 100 countries, including more than 40 FMs, to meet in Belgrade despite the coronavirus pandemic.
“They are the representatives of the very same countries that, to a considerable degree, associate the former Yugoslavia with Tito and Belgrade. Tito is no longer alive but Belgrade remains a symbol of the struggle for the freedom of that part of the world,” Selakovic said.
The policy of Serbia, which is primarily focused on EU membership, is not oblivious to traditional partnerships and friendships, Selakovic said, noting that, besides close ties with Russia and China, Serbia also maintained relationships with countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
