Cooperation between Serbia and Belarus, between expectations and reality
Dragana Trifkovic eurasia.expert
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko paid an official visit to Serbia in early December . In Belgrade, Aleksandar Lukashenko spoke with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. The heads of state discussed the development of political dialogue and economic cooperation between the countries. How would you assess the outcome of the meeting between the two presidents? What was the main reason for Lukashenko's visit to Belgrade?
I think that the visit of the Belarusian president to Serbia was successful and that it was useful to both sides. The reason for the visit was the strengthening of cooperation between Serbia and Belarus. Our two countries have been in friendly relations since the very beginning of diplomatic relations (since Belarus became independent after the collapse of the USSR). This year we celebrated 25 years of diplomatic relations between Serbia and Belarus. I think that this visit of President Lukashenko was carried out in order to confirm good relations.
