His disrespect of the state symbols of the Republic of Croatia, whose delegation headed by the Speaker of Parliament Gordan Jandrokovic is in its first, historic visit to Serbia, is unacceptable and an insult to the Serbian people which prides itself on its traditional hospitality as well.

Incidents and provocations of this kind, whether they happen in Belgrade or Zagreb, as was the case during the recent visit by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, cannot and will not bring into question Serbia’s resolve to build and advance good-neighbourly relations with Croatia for the sake of the future of our citizens, peace and stability in the region.
