Relations with Cyprus on permanent rise

Belgrade, 15 May 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic received today Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus Demetrios Theophylactou on a farewell visit, who is finishing his mandate in the Republic of Serbia soon.

Dacic expressed his gratitude to Ambassador Theophylactou for his personal contribution to the intensification of political dialogue and cooperation between Serbia and Cyprus, considering that during his mandate significant contacts of high-ranking officials of the two countries were made, and the overall cooperation was raised to an even higher level.

The Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs also expressed his gratitude for the continued support of the Republic of Cyprus to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia, i.e. for the consistent and principled position on non-recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of so-called Kosovo, as well as the hope that Cyprus will maintain that position, both bilaterally and in international organisations.

The two officials agreed that the relations between the two countries are substantive, of high-quality and constantly on the rise and confirmed readiness for the further strengthening of mutual dialogue, exchange of visits at all levels and intensive connection of the two countries through the improvement of cooperation in a large number of areas, especially in the economic field.

Dacic wished the Ambassador of Cyprus much success on a professional and personal level, saying that he can always count on the friendship of Serbia and the Serbian people.

Ambassador Theophylactou assessed that the special quality of the relations between Serbia and Cyprus is given by the fact that Serbs and Cypriots have always been together and supported each other both in good and bad times.

Theophylactou said that he is taking very good memories from Serbia, expressing his gratitude for the exceptional understanding and cooperation of the state leadership, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other state institutions of the Republic of Serbia, according to a statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
