In response to article entitled "Taiwan could help the world recover from the virus", published on the website of Danas daily newspaper citing the so-called Minister of Foreign Affairs of the "Republic of China (Taiwan)" as the author, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia takes this opportunity to underline that the aforementioned article is absolutely opposite to the state policy of Serbia which has lent a consistent and principled support to the "One-China" policy as well as to the territorial integrity of China.

The Republic of Serbia does not recognize the statehood of Taiwan considering it to be an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China and the central Government in Beijing as the only legitimate Government of the people of China.

The Republic of Serbia maintains outstanding political relations and all-round cooperation with the People's Republic of China, including the bilateral relations at the level of strategic partnership. Publishing articles with such content harms the reputation and foreign policy position of the Republic of Serbia.
