According to a statement issued by the Presidency, Vucic and his guests spoke about "regional issues and the European path of Serbia."

Vucic "thanked the representatives of the House of Lords for their interest in the problems that the Western Balkans is facing, and pointed out that there are still many important issues on the European agenda of Serbia."

He also said he was grateful that Britain was - "despite Brexit" - ready to assist Serbia in the process of EU integration.
