Hussar and Mihkelson discussed the importance of supporting Ukraine with Serbian foreign minister

Hussar said at the meeting that Estonia had been and remained a firm supporter of the EU’s enlargement policy. “We are ready to share with Serbia our experience in the EU integration and reform process and to continue our cooperation in the field of e-governance and cybersecurity,” he said.

Speaking of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, Hussar expressed concern about the situation in Ukraine and underlined the need for further support for Ukraine. “We must support Ukraine until victory, because they are fighting on the battlefield not only for their own freedom, but for the whole democratic world,” he said.

Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and support for Ukraine were also main topics of discussion at the meeting of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia with the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu.

The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee also pointed out at the meeting that Ukraine needed all the support it could get in its fight against Russia. According to him, this means not only providing military and humanitarian aid, but also imposing and strengthening sanctions against Russia. “There is no alternative to Ukraine’s victory, because Russia’s success would be a disaster not only for Ukraine but for the entire European security architecture. The countries that aspire to become members of the EU have to understand that it is crucial to defend our common interests and values,” Mihkelson said.
