Quote: "We discussed and agreed on improving bilateral relations, with a special desire to organise an economic forum between businessmen of the two countries in the near future," Vucic added.

He said they also talked about the path of both countries to membership in the European Union and the urgent need for peace in Ukraine. "I also pointed out to Minister Kuleba the problems Serbia faces, especially at the international level," the Serbian President pointed out, without specifying what exactly it was about. The Serbian Embassy in Ukraine has been temporarily closed due to security concerns since March 2022.

Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and expressed his support for Ukraine's territorial integrity. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister also met with his Serbian counterpart, Marko Duric. Media report that Ukraine's first lady, Olena Zelenska, and Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba arrived in Belgrade on Sunday, marking the first visit by a Ukrainian high-ranking official to Serbia since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war.

Serbia, Russia's Balkan ally, has frequently condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the UN and other international forums, but has refused to support international sanctions against the Kremlin. Serbian President Vucic has met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy three times since 2022, most recently in Tirana for the Ukraine-Balkans conference in February. Vucic insisted on omitting references of sanctions against Russia from the summit's final resolution.
