Dacic expressed his pleasure that Jaishankar will visit Serbia soon, emphasising that India is a great friend and ally of Serbia, and that it is important for the purpose of improving bilateral relations to maintain intensive contacts and organize more joint activities.

The First Deputy Prime Minister briefed his interlocutor on the situation in Kosovo-Metohija and thanked India for its continued support for Serbia's territorial integrity.
