Vučević expressed his condemnation and regret for the recent attempt to assassinate the Prime Minister of Slovakia and wished his colleague Robert Fico a speedy recovery and return to his duties.
The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to friendly Slovakia for the principled attitude of respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia, as well as his concern about the position of the Serbian people and the current situation in the southern Serbian province.
Vučević emphasised that Belgrade highly appreciates Slovakia's commitment to respecting international law and strong support for Serbia on its European path.
In this context, he pointed out that Serbia remains a sincere friend and reliable partner of Slovakia, as well as that he hopes that the good political relations between the two countries will be followed by even better economic ties, as well as cooperation in all other areas.
The Prime Minister and the Ambassador agreed that good bilateral relations open up additional space for improving cooperation, especially in the areas of innovation, research and development, digitisation and modern technologies, industry, renewable energy sources and environmental protection.
Prime Minister Vučević and Ambassador Pavuk also discussed the special bond in the relations between the two countries, which is formed by members of the Slovak national minority in Serbia, as well as the Serbian national minority in Slovakia.
Ambassador Pavuk also emphasised that a large number of Slovak companies have already invested capital in Serbia, but that there are still those who want to expand their business in our country, due to the existence of a good business climate. He added that he hopes that companies from Serbia will also invest more intensively in Slovakia.
The Ambassador congratulated Prime Minister Vučević on his election to that position and wished him success in times full of challenges.
