Russian Ambassador to Serbia, Alexander Chepurin has conveyed a message of the Russian President Vladimir Putin to his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic, suggesting he could visit Serbia in January 2019. Vucic had invited Putin to visit Belgrade during his latest visit to Moscow, earlier this month.
At the meeting with Chepurin, Vucic underlined that “it is an extraordinary honour for Serbia to have Vladimir Putin as its guest again”.
Putin has visited Serbia only once so far, in October 2014.
“Belgrade will demonstrate how generous its hospitality is”, Vucic told the Russian Ambassador, according to the presidential cabinet’s press release.
Preparations for Putin’s visit will begin “immediately” in order to reaffirm the “traditional friendship between the two countries and the brotherhood shared by the two peoples”.
Vucic and Chepurin have also announced that the bilateral inter-governmental committee for co-operation would hold a session soon “to draw up concrete joint projects of economic co-operation in the interest of a more intense trade flow.”
