Vucic welcomes UK's new ambassador to Belgrade

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic received the credentials of the UK's new Ambassador to Serbia Edward Ferguson on Tuesday and wished him success during his tenure in Belgrade.

Vucic said he hoped to see a strengthening of overall cooperation between Belgrade and London during Ferguson's term as well as stepped-up political dialogue at all levels.

The parties agreed that Serbia-UK economic cooperation had seen dynamic development in the past several years and said they were confident there was space to boost the partnership in many areas, such as energy, the construction sector, ICT services and joint work on major infrastructure projects, the presidential press office said in a statement.

Vucic asked the ambassador to convey his regards to King Charles III, the statement said.
