The two officials agreed that the friendly relations and cooperation are at a very high level, which were encouraged by last year’s visit of the then prime minister of Serbia and now President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic to India.
Dacic and Naidu expressed satisfaction with the decades long traditionally friendly relations between Yugoslavia, whose successor is Serbia, and India, that originate from the time of the Non-Aligned Movement, of which the two countries were founders.
The two sides expressed the wish and readiness to make concrete steps to intensify political dialogue at the high and highest level and make an overall improvement of cooperation. The upcoming visit of the Vice President of India to Serbia, the first on this level in many decades, will give a special contribution to that.
Dacic expressed gratitude of the government of Serbia and the Serbian people on India’s support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Serbia through the non-recognition of the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo.
He expressed his conviction that India will remain on this position, which is based on international law, in the future.
Naidu confirmed that his country will not change its position regarding the non-recognition of the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo.
