The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, Marko Đurić, assessed today in talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, that mutual trust and continuous political dialogue constitute a firm foundation for the further deepening of the partnership between the two countries.

Minister Đurić emphasized that Serbia remains committed to further enhancing cooperation in all areas, particularly in the field of energy, bearing in mind the strategic importance of energy security for the country.

He noted that there is significant potential for expanding cooperation in tourism, especially in the spa tourism segment, given Serbia’s exceptional natural resources, as well as opportunities to encourage new investments and strengthen overall economic ties.
