Serbia will continue to contribute to the global fight against climate change, but the question is how will the world resolve this issue if it is unable to handle the geopolitical challenges that it faces, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in Dubai, during the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as COP28.
“Wars that we could not stop are being led around the world, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop them either. If we have failed to do this, can we be sure that we will achieve the desired result in the realm of climate change?” Vucic said in a speech.
The Serbian president said that everyone should act in accordance with international law, as “arbitrary approaches” could otherwise emerge. “We cannot employ different approaches to the territorial integrity of some states – Serbia knows this better than anyone. Today I heard voices calling for unification and a joint fight against climate change, but we should first find common ground and resolve the most pressing geopolitical issues,” Vucic said.
The president agreed that the world should unite to fight climate change and said that Serbia “is ready to play its part” in the global struggle.
