Today, the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, Prof. Dr Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic received the Ambassador of Palestine, H.E. Mohammed Nabhan.

The Ambassador briefed the Speaker on the state of the negotiations with Israel. He said that the negotiations have been discontinued as, contrary to the agreement, the Israeli side does not abide by the moratorium on the construction of Jewish settlements on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. He restated that Palestine would not recognise the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo.

The NARS Speaker was sorry that the talks with Israel have come to a halt and thanked the Ambassador for the support on Kosovo-Metohija. She agreed with the Ambassador’s proposal to set up a meeting with representatives of Arab countries accredited in Belgrade who would provide information on the situation in the Middle East.
