Selakovic said that bilateral relations are traditionally good, based on the historical closeness and friendship of the two states and peoples.
He underlined that Cyprus is a very important partner that offers principled and active support to Serbia in its key foreign policy priorities – the question of Kosovo and Metohija and integration into the EU.

Selakovic reiterated Serbia’s unconditional support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus.
He informed the Cypriot minister on the latest developments and the security situation in Kosovo and Metohija, and Pristina’s continued refusal to respect and implement the Brussels Agreement.
Selakovic also pointed to intensive political dialogue and contacts of Serbia and Cyprus at all levels, and the two ministers also discussed the session of the two governments that will be held soon.
The Serbian Foreign Minister declared that it is in Serbia's interest to maintain intensive economic cooperation with Cyprus and added that our country is open to attracting more investments from that country.
He thanked Cyprus for offering us active support in the process of European integration and stated that Serbia is interested in additional forms of cooperation in order to get integrated into the EU as soon as possible, reads the statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
