Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Djuric today dismissed allegations that he had been summoned to Washington so that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio could brief him on a secret binding agreement on recognizing Kosovo’s independence, stressing that such claims are complete fabrications. Speaking after a meeting with senior U.S. official for Europe Brendan Hanrahan, Djuric stated that the United States and Serbia would be strong partners in preserving regional stability and protecting the position of the Serbian people wherever they are endangered.
