Serbia hosts NATO meeting

A NATO conference in Belgrade this week will bring together scores of defence officials from across the globe, but it will not change Serbia’s neutral stance towards the alliance, the government says. 

Belgrade is set to host a three-day long annual NATO conference starting on Monday, but state officials have stressed that the fact that Serbia is holding the event does not mean that the country’s stance towards the alliance has changed.

Tanja Miscevic, state secretary in Serbia’s Defence Ministry, stressed on Sunday that the gathering will include NATO and non-NATO countries, including Russia.
