Gojkovic thanked the Speaker of the Parliament of Guinea-Bissau Cipriano Cassama for his country’s clear support of Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, saying that Guinea-Bissau has shown that it respects international law, United Nations decisions and the UNSC Resolution 1244 and is one of the countries that recognize the dangerous precedent set by the unilateral declaration of independence by a part of a sovereign state.
