First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic received on Thursday in Belgrade Guatemala's Foreign Minister Carlos Raul Morales Moscoso.

During the talks it was noted that, despite the existence of bilateral and friendly relations, the cooperation in economic, cultural and educational areas lag behind the real possibilities of the two countries, the Serbian government said.

According to the same source, Dacic informed Moscoso that the procedure regarding "the exchange of names of streets" named after Serbian and Guatemalan winners of the Nobel prize for literature has been completed on the Serbian side, and that a street in Belgrade will soon be named after Miguel Angel Asturias.

He also "expressed appreciation to Guatemala for its principled stance not to recognize the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo and for the support of our positions in preventing admission of Kosovo to international organizations."

The two officials also agreed that "a regular dialogue at all levels is necessary, and in this regard, to establish a mechanism of political consultation by signing a Memorandum of understanding between the two ministries of foreign affairs."

Dacic and Moscoso signed today an agreement on abolishing visas for diplomatic and official passports.

Dacic has also been invited to visit Guatemala.
