Serbia, Venezuela sign agreement on abolishment of visas

Belgrade, 14 July 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic received today Minister of the People’s Power for Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Yván Gil Pinto, who is on an official visit to Belgrade.

At a joint press conference, after the talks with Pinto, Dacic said that Venezuela and Serbia are two extremely close countries, with traditional friendly relations spanning 140 years, which managed to preserve friendship in difficult times for both countries, despite heavy pressures.

During the talks at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were simultaneously treated as the Second Meeting of the Serbia-Venezuela Political Consultation Mechanism, numerous possibilities for further improvement of bilateral cooperation were discussed.

Mutual willingness to strengthen political dialogue and economic ties, as well as cooperation in the fields of agriculture, tourism, education, youth, sports and culture, was expressed.

Dacic expressed immense gratitude to Venezuela for its position in relation to our biggest problem, which is the issue of our territorial integrity and sovereignty, adding that this country, with which we have no open issues, has a sincere friend in Serbia.

Gil Pinto said that his country and Serbia are linked by several issues - first of all, the issue of the principles of international law, the principle of respect for the UN Charter, adding that Venezuela will always be faithful to the principle of supporting sovereignty and respecting the territorial integrity of countries, which are values that it shares with Serbia, with whom in the last ten years it has been trying to develop relations in today's increasingly complex world, in an increasingly challenging geopolitical situation.

Dacic and Gil Pinto today signed the Agreement between the government of the Republic of Serbia and the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on the abolition of visas for holders of ordinary passports, which was jointly assessed as the first in a series of steps aimed at strengthening, above all, economic cooperation.

According to Dacic, the procedure of making Belgrade and Caracas twin towns has been initiated.
