Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Ivica Dacic stated Tuesday that Serbia wants to join the global counter-terrorism pact.

Dacic conveyed this position to the Australian Ambassador for Counter-Terrorism Bill Paterson in the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Serbian Interior Ministry released in a statement.
Serbia would like to join the global counter-terrorism pact, in which it would assist the tracking down of criminals in cases such as the recent one relating to an Australian citizen born in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Dacic said.

Dacic kicked off Monday a visit to Australia by a meeting with Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Chris Bowen on the possibilities of introducing visa facilitation for Serbian citizens.

After the talks, Dacic said that it was agreed to launch talks to facilitate issuance of Australian visas to Serbian citizens and prolong the deadline of their validity.
During Tuesday’s meeting, Dacic and Australian Minister for Home Affairs Jason Clare confirmed the two countries’ commitment to the fight against organized crime, which will be sealed with a memorandum on Wednesday.
