When it comes to the investigation following the report by Council of Europe special rapporteur Dick Marty on Kosovo human organ trafficking, China backs Serbia's position that it is only the UN Security Council that is entitled to entrust someone with carrying out the investigation in a credible and thorough manner, Jeremic said. According to him, the stand of Beijing has significantly improved Serbia's position regarding that issue.

Serbia strongly backs the policy of one China and it will continue to call for the respect of such a policy in every possible way and at every opportunity it gets, he said, and thanked his Chinese counterpart for the country's support to the defence of Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Yang confirmed China's commitment to dialogue as the means to the resolution of the Kosovo issue, in which the UN Security Council should continue to have an important role.
