The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, met in the Kremlin with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin
After the Victory Day parade on Red Square in Moscow, Aleksandar Vučić he met with the president of Russia Vladimir Putin.
At the press conference after the meeting, Vučić said that they held a long, open and honest conversation, during which all aspects of bilateral cooperation between Serbia and Russia were discussed.
"We talked about drawing up a new long-term gas supply contract, we opened those talks. Soon our specialists will start drawing up long-term contracts. I believe that Serbia will get favorable conditions for obtaining Russian gas in the years ahead," said Vučić.
There was also talk of cooperation in healthcare, exchange of doctors, experts, exchange of medicines, and military-technical cooperation.
Vučić thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for his "enormous support" for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia and the development of bilateral relations, reports FoNet.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he appreciates Serbia's independent and sovereign course in international relations, noting that the Russian-Serbian dialogue is taking place consistently.
Vučić, who spoke in Russian at the beginning of the meeting with Putin, congratulated the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, adding that this date is an important day for Russians and Serbs who are proud of their role in the liberation of Serbia.
"I completely agree that it is necessary to increase the exchange of goods between the two countries. You know that we also have the issue of gas supply. Our long-term contract has very good conditions, we hope that we will be able to maintain the same conditions or maybe improve them," noted Vučić.
He noted that Serbia and Russia have good cooperation in various spheres, but that it can be further strengthened.
"Russia's role is important and our joint task is not to allow history to be revised. I hope we will see you in Serbia, in Belgrade," said Vučić.
Putin appreciates "Serbia's independent and sovereign course"
At the beginning of the conversation, Putin addressed Vučić with the words - "friend, allow me to greet you in Moscow", stating that he knows that "some tried" to convince him to make a different decision, creating logistical problems for him to arrive.
"We appreciate that on this significant day, the 80th anniversary of the great victory in the Second World War, you are with us in Moscow and participating in the festive events," emphasized the Russian head of state.
Putin pointed out that this is a joint holiday, because the soldiers of the two countries fought side by side against the Nazi regime, recalling that last year, October 20, marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade.
"The Belgrade offensive in which Soviet soldiers and units of the People's Liberation Struggle were involved was crucial for the final stage of the Second World War," he pointed out.
Putin pointed to regular contacts between the ministers of foreign affairs and the parliaments of the two countries, but that the economic indicators are not optimal and there is a decrease.
"The key segment of our cooperation is energy. Russia is the guarantor of Serbia's energy security and it meets 85 percent of Serbia's needs," Putin said, adding that natural gas deliveries to Serbia go through the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.
Gasporom is a reliable supplier and responds to the requests of Serbian friends and provides additional volumes of gas, beyond those provided for in the contract, Putin pointed out.
Earlier today, President Vučić attended the military parade on Red Square, which was held on the occasion of Victory Day.
