BELGRADE - Serbian First Deputy PM and FM Ivica Dacic spoke on Wednesday with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto, who was in Belgrade for the 13th session of a bilateral commission on economic cooperation.

In a very friendly and cordial atmosphere, the ministers noted that comprehensive bilateral relations between Serbia and Hungary were at the highest level in recent history, as confirmed by an intergovernmental agreement on friendly relations and cooperation on a strategic partnership, which took effect in January this year, the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

In the spirit of partnership and existing strategic relations, the ministers also discussed upcoming bilateral activities at the highest level, scheduled for June, and said they were aimed at advancing further the good-neighbourly relations and successful cooperation.

On behalf of the Republic of Serbia and the Serbs, Dacic thanked Hungary for its position in a recent vote on the so-called Kosovo's application for Council of Europe membership.
