“We had substantive discussions this morning. We note the progress of our relations, which have been forged over the years. This bilateral convergence acquired a strategic character with the joint declaration we signed in Athens a few months after I took office. Within the year, we look forward to the convergence of the fourth working council, with a focus on a future of peace, development, and social prosperity. Our decision to collaborate in all fields was reaffirmed today. It is not a coincidence that I am in Belgrade accompanied by four ministers and a broad business delegation. We are interested in connecting our countries in energy and transportation. Both of us attach importance to the modernization of the Thessaloniki-Belgrade connection, as well as the completion of a broad axis starting from Piraeus and ending in Budapest. A project of strategic importance for our countries and southeastern Europe. European resources should also be utilized for this purpose. We could transport natural gas to the Serbian market through the Revythousa terminal, while you could provide us with large storage areas that you have. Cooperation can also be extended to renewable energy sources. We possess valuable know-how and aspire to become an export hub to the north, and we want to assist Serbia in its green transition”, said the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

“We talked about all the important issues. Greece is one of Serbia’s most important supporters in the EU. Should Serbia become a member of the European Union? We expect some steps from Europe to show us they want us in the Union”, said Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.
