Head of the NATO Military Liaison Office, Italian Army Brigadier General Tommaso Vitale, has said that cooperation between the Alliance and Serbia is much stronger and better developed than it might seem in the eyes of the citizens of Serbia.
"One of the reasons is a large amount of misinformation, which we fight with facts and joint values, a transparent approach and specific measures," the general said in an interview with the Blic daily published on June 26.
Vitale recalled that this year would be the 15th anniversary of cooperation between NATO and Serbia within the Partnership for Peace. The Alliance fully respects Serbia's decision not to join the organization, but, as he put it, NATO and Serbia can continue to cooperate, which is what they are doing.
"The partnership between us is well-developed, and is unfolding in several domains - political, military and scientific. We have achieved significant results so far," the Italian general said, adding that a political dialogue complemented practical cooperation at all levels, which was clear when Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic visited Brussels in May.
