At the very beginning of the meeting, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Borko Stefanovic emphasised the importance of meetings between parliamentarians and visits at the bilateral level, which allow for the exchange of opinions and reciprocal improvement of relations. The Committee Chairman stressed that the Republic of Serbia is still struggling to gain membership in the European Union despite the fact that the integration process has dragged on and is stagnating primarily due to the conflict on the territory of Ukraine. He said that the fact that the Republic of Serbia has condemned the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine should not be overlooked, adding that, as the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, he had submitted a Resolution to the National Assembly for the alignment of the foreign policy of the Republic of Serbia with the foreign policy of the European Union, but both the National Assembly and the Government had accepted the proposal of the National Security Council not to impose sanctions on Russia, because Serbia is completely dependent on Russian gas. Stefanovic expressed the view that EU integration has been stopped in Serbia by the will of the current government who are not ready, nor do they want to continue with EU integration. Also, by the will of the current government in Serbia, eyes are diverted from corruption and lack of freedom, pressures on dissenters, as well as the fact that the government in Serbia does not want to tear Serbia away from the danger of isolation and distance from its continent. Stefanovic underlined that no one on the Serbian political scene supports the independence of Kosovo-Metohija and Serbia has shown that it wants to ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the state through peaceful means and dialogue, while on the other hand, the so-called Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti is provoking violence and wants to eradicate the Serbian people from Kosovo-Metohija. He expressed regret that the UK is no longer member of the EU, however adding that it is still vitally and to a great extent strategically and economically deeply involved in Europe.

The head of the UK Parliamentary delegation Jackie Doyle-Price spoke of its interest in and commitment to strengthening ties with Serbia, expressing her satisfaction with the different positions the parliamentary parties have in the National Assembly, which she said indicates a healthy democracy. She also said that the United Kingdom supports the European integration of the Republic of Serbia and the region despite the situations that have slowed down this process. She took the opportunity to stress that the statements of the British MP Alicia Kearns who accused the Serbian Orthodox Church and which the members of the Foreign Affairs Committee had condemned, declaring them unfounded and completely unacceptable, are not the official position of the United Kingdom Government.

Foreign Affairs Committee Deputy Chairperson Marina Ragus took the opportunity to remind the attending that the Republic of Serbia has respected all the signed agreements and resolutions concerning the stabilisation of relations in Kosovo-Metohija, guided by the principles of peace and dialogue, while Albin Kurti has not fulfilled the only and the most important clause of the agreement - the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities, which Serbia has been waiting for for a decade now. In that regard, Ragus said that Serbia is not neutral in the conduct of its foreign policy and clearly demonstrates its position, through its efforts and reforms, to become a full member of the European Union, but after two decades of integration, the citizens of Serbia are losing their will for this process. She also pointed to the fact that the Serbian Orthodox Church is one of the pillars of Serbian society, especially on the territory of Kosovo-Metohija. She stressed that any rising of tensions in Kosovo-Metohija could lead to instability in the entire region, while peace and stability are a categorical imperative for Serbia.

The meeting was also attended by Committee members Dubravka Filipovski, who stressed the importance of implementing international agreements, and Ksenija Markovic, who pointed to the need for greater media freedom and democracy in Serbia and finding new ways for stability in AP Kosovo-Metohija.
