The Government and the EU remain gravely concerned about the situation in Serbia and, with our EU partners, we are monitoring developments there very closely.
I acknowledge the dignity and restraint with which the political opposition in Serbia and their supporters have conducted their protest against the authorities' decision to annual election results which had given them victories in a number of major cities on 17 November. The sheer magnitude of these demonstrations show clearly the level of dissatisfaction which exists at that unacceptable decision.
