Vucic receives Slovak defence minister

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with Slovak Defence Minister Robert Kalinak in Belgrade on Monday to discuss strengthening of bilateral cooperation in defence and security.

"We agreed that it is necessary to advance joint military exercises and information-sharing, and regional stability and potential joint projects that would help to boost security in the region were also a topic of the meeting," Vucic wrote in a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram account.

He noted the special gratitude to Slovakia for its consistent position on the issue of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo-Metohija and for its respect of the principles of international law.

"I stressed that EU membership is Serbia's foreign policy priority and thanked Slovakia for the strong support it is providing to us on that path," Vucic added.
