Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar met with Serbian counterpart Marko Djuric on Tuesday (local time) in Belgrade, as per a release by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Djuric thanked Saar for his significant contribution to improving relations between the Republic of Serbia and the State of Israel, which, he assessed, is also evident in this visit at a critical historical moment.
“Relations between the Republic of Serbia and the State of Israel are founded not only on decades of good cooperation between our two countries, but also on centuries of close, friendly and fraternal relations between the Serbian and Jewish people, bound by shared suffering, values and a shared unwavering faith in the future. Serbia views Israel as one of its greatest friends and key strategic partners,
