President Vučić expressed his gratitude for the principled position of the friendly country with respect to non-recognition of so-called Kosovo. „It is of utmost importance for the state and national interests of Serbia, but also serves as evidence of the independence of Myanmar and its consistent respect of the basic principles of the international law", said President Vučić.
