BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic received the credentials of new Lebanese Ambassador to Belgrade Youssef Jabr on Monday.

In an Instagram post, Vucic wrote that he had informed the ambassador in more detail of the situation in the region, highlighting the gratitude to Lebanon for its respect for the territorial integrity of Serbia.

Welcoming the ambassador, Vucic wished him success and that they may work together on a new momentum in advancement of bilateral cooperation, especially in view of the fact Serbia and Lebanon would next year mark the 80th anniversary of their diplomatic relations.
