"I can state with pleasure that I have been given guarantees that Mexico will remain firmly on the positions of the protection of international law and insistence on the finding of a compromise and mutually acceptable solution for the future status of Kosovo and Metohija that would be reached through negotiations," Jeremic said in a statement.
Mexico will support Serbia in its initiative for seeking an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice in The Hague in connection with the legality of the recognition of the unilaterally proclaimed independence of the southern Serbian province, the Serbian minister said.
"Mexico has successfully presented initiatives for seeking opinions from the International Court of Justice in The Hague on several occasions so far, and we agreed to continue the extremely close cooperation at the level of our ambassadors at the United Nations so that Mexico could help us with its experience," Jeremic said.
The Serbian minister is due to meet with counterparts from several Latin American countries this week.
Apart from Mexico -- Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela are among the leading opponents to Kosovo's secession on the American continent.
