Long tradition of diplomatic, friendly relations of Serbia and Poland

Belgrade/Warsaw, 11 June 2021

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic met today in Warsaw, on the second day of his visit to Poland, with his Polish counterpart Zbigniew Rau.

The two officials recalled the long tradition of diplomatic and friendly relations and concluded that both countries are committed to strengthening the overall cooperation.

The ministers highlighted the commitment to improving economic cooperation and increased presence of businessmen and investors in both countries and reached an agreement that the realistic goal is that the level of the foreign trade exchange exceeds €2 billion in two years.

When it comes to the process of European integration of Serbia, Selakovic expressed gratitude on the active support and the position of Poland that the rightful place of Serbia and the entire Western Balkans is in the European Union.

The Minister pointed to the importance of the regional format - the Visegrad Group (V4) and said that Serbia recognises closeness with member states of V4 and that it has an interest in cooperating with them, both bilaterally and as part of this initiative.

In addition, he spoke about the “mini Schengen” initiative, which aims to contribute to the stability in the Balkans and the relaxation of political relations through economic linking and cooperation of our region.

Selakovic informed Rau about the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and underlined that Serbia is entirely committed to continuing the dialogue, but that we remain sceptical about the readiness of the other side to implement the agreements made. He reiterated that the only sustainable solution would be to reach a compromise.

The two ministers signed the Memorandum of understanding between the foreign ministries of Serbia and Poland, as well as the Programme of cooperation in the field of culture, education and science for the period from 2021 to 2024.
