Đurić said that he has the great honour to address the gathering on this significant occasion on behalf of the Republic of Serbia and extend his congratulations to the Embassy, the Government, and the people of the Slovak Republic.
He confirmed Serbia's commitment to further enhancing its partnership with Slovakia and elevating it to a higher level, expressing satisfaction that the annual volume of trade between the two countries exceeds €1 billion, that companies are investing in both nations and that cooperation across all sectors is progressing successfully.
Đurić conveyed gratitude to Slovakia for its support to Serbia’s European integration path, as well as for its support and understanding regarding our country's position on territorial integrity and sovereignty.
The Minister announced that a joint exhibition will soon be held in Washington, where the embassies of both countries will present to the United States of America and the world the rich cultural heritage of Slovaks in Serbia.
This is one example of what we can do and are doing together, the Serbian Foreign Minister underlined and expressed his conviction that the most fruitful years of cooperation between Serbia and Slovakia are yet to come.
Đurić said that he expects a new "Slovak House" to open in Serbia soon, which will serve as a vital hub for Slovak culture, the economy, and the overall life of the Slovak community in Serbia, while also playing a highly significant role in bilateral relations between the two countries.
