First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic sent a letter expressing his condolences to UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson following the Manchester pop concert terror attack, which reads as follows:

"I was deeply saddened by the news of the cowardly attack on young people and their families gathered to share some moments together. This is, at the same time, a brutal attack on all young, innocent people, wherever they are, and it is incumbent upon us to prevent this from happening, since youth is our future.

You may rest assured that the Republic of Serbia is resolute in its condemnation of this cynical, inhuman crime, and remains committed to the common fight against all those attempting to destroy our way of life. I am convinced that these cowardly attacks will only make us stronger in our determination to defend European values.

On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and on my own behalf, I would like to express to Your Excellency and the Government of the United Kingdom, the people of the United Kingdom, and the families and friends of victims and the injured, profound condolences at the attack committed during the concert, wishing the injured a successful and speedy recovery", says the condolence letter from Foreign Minister Dacic.
