“We have given concrete form to everything we have felt toward each other over the past period. We have established direct flights and launched direct air connections between Tbilisi and Belgrade. This is the result of economic and other forms of cooperation, and I am proud of that”, Vučić said.

He emphassed that the opening of the Serbian embassy in Tbilisi would further enhance bilateral relations.

“The embassy will be a real place where many business initiatives will begin and, of course, an opportunity to deepen political cooperation”, he noted.
