Prime Minister Ana Brnabic assessed today during the talks with Secretary-General of the Association of Caribbean States June Soomer that the Republic of Serbia, by signing the Agreement on Cooperation with this association, has shown readiness to further develop friendly relations with traditional partners in Latin America and to establish a more intensive political dialogue and cooperation with the Caribbean states.
Brnabic underlined that she expects that in the forthcoming period a programme of cooperation will be defined and the modalities of Serbia's inclusion in the concrete projects of this organisation will be examined.
The Prime Minister added that she is first and foremost interested in strengthening cultural ties and cooperation in the field of education, adding that Serbia will consider granting scholarships to a number of students from the Caribbean countries.
She took the opportunity to express gratitude to the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean who showed a principled stance regarding the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo and supported Serbia in defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state.
