Additional efforts to be invested in expanding trade with Azerbaijan

Belgrade, 23 November 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke today with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev about the development of bilateral relations, the improvement of practical cooperation in several areas, especially agriculture, energy, infrastructure and transport.

Brnabic expressed her gratitude to Aliyev for the support that his country provides to the territorial integrity of Serbia, as well as for the cooperation within the Non-Aligned Movement.

Speaking about the expansion of commodity exchange, the Prime Minister of Serbia pointed out that it is necessary to invest additional efforts in order to increase it, considering the fact that there are significantly greater potentials than those currently being used.

In this sense, Brnabic said that in 2021, a record volume of goods exchange was achieved in the past 10 years.

The Prime Minister pointed out that Serbia sees special potential in this regard in the field of agriculture.

Brnabic and Aliyev agreed that one of the biggest challenges today is the secure supply of energy and that therefore it is extremely important to form an interstate working group for energy that will deal with concrete arrangements for the supply of energy from Azerbaijan to Serbia.

President Aliyev said that he was satisfied with the signing of a series of agreements on cooperation in several fields between Azerbaijan and Serbia, which will significantly improve bilateral relations.

According to him, Azerbaijan remains firmly on the point of view that double standards are inadmissible in international relations when it comes to the territorial integrity of any state.

Brnabic and Aliyev also exchanged opinions on the current international situation and ways to overcome current problems.

The meeting in the Palace of Serbia was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivaca Dacic, Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Djedovic, Minister of Labour, Veteran and Social Affairs Nikola Selakovic, Minister of Family Care and Demography Darija Kisic, Minister of Construction, Transport and infrastructure Goran Vesic, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management Jelena Tanaskovic and Minister of the Interior Bratislav Gasic.
