The conference is being held in Germany, which is one of the three Western European countries that lead, so to speak, a 'military coalition' [on Ukraine]. This has become the biggest limiting factor for the success of the conference. On the other hand, Germans are characterized by a certain commitment in terms of their approach to the problem of openness to scientific discussion. Therefore, I believe that the conference has not lost its significance, but it is dominated by the current sentiments of the ruling circles of Western Europe," Krsljanin said.
This stance creates additional challenges for participants at the Munich forum who have traveled to the conference from other parts of the world, the diplomat added.
"All the other attendees - including China's Foreign Minister [Wang Yi], as well as our president [Aleksandar Vucic] are faced with the difficult task of defending the fundamental principles of international relations and international law in such an unhealthy atmosphere," he said.
The Munich Security Conference is taking place on February 13-15.
