I am humbled and deeply appreciative that H. E. The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Ivica Dačić, has discerned the importance of this occasion and taken the time to add his presence to declare our 1st South East Europe Regional Consular Conference officially open.

“The business of a leader is to turn weakness into strength, Obstacles into stepping stones, and Disaster into triumph!” A man of experience, a staunch democrat and a convinced European! A leader par excellence!
