In a very friendly atmosphere, both sides agreed that relations between Serbia and Moldova may represent an example of relations between the two countries.

Both sides agreed that political relations are at a high level and require further contacts between the two countries at all levels.

In this regard, Prime Minister Dacic called on Moldova to pay an official visit to Serbia, and invited the Foreign Minister to come and take part in the work of the Organisation for Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), which is chaired by Serbia, which was accepted with pleasure.

It was agreed to hold bilateral consultations between the two ministries to exchange experiences on European integration of Serbia and Moldova, since both countries aspire to EU membership.

At the same time it was noted that consideration should be given to the contractual status and ensure the signing of cooperation agreements between the two countries in areas where there is mutual interest.

At today's meeting the interlocutors agreed that economic cooperation should be significantly intensified, which greatly lags behind the level of political relations.

Special attention was given to the importance of the principle of territorial integrity of both countries and provided mutual support in this regard.

The Moldovan side provided firm assurances that their position on non-recognition of the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo-Metohija will not change, according to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
