He conveyed his gratitude to the Russian side for their firm and consistent support within international organisations regarding the defence of Serbia’s sovereignty.
During the open dialogue, the possibilities for the further development of bilateral cooperation were also discussed, with the conclusion that regular high-level meetings provide a strong impetus for preserving and enhancing the strategic partnership between the two countries.
