Foreign Affairs Committee Deputy Chairperson Meets with Russian Federation Council Delegation

Foreign Affairs Committee Deputy Chairperson Dubravka Filipovski discussed bilateral and multilateral relations with a delegation of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

Dubravka Filipovski greeted the Russian colleagues of the behalf of the Foreign Affairs Committee saying she was pleased by the intensive dialogue affirmed by the high-level parliamentary, governmental and economic delegation visits. She highlighted the two countries’ 180 years of excellent and fruitful relations, as well as historic ties and cultural tradition. She said that intensive cooperation and support in interparliamentary and international organizations, the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the Council of Europe is another proof of these friendly relations and added that the Republic of Serbia would react at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation from which Russia is currently excluded. She mentioned that Serbia had voted in favour of Russia returning to the Council of Europe and against all of Ukraine’s motions to rescind cultural and national differences and national minority freedoms. Filipovski said that the 2015 interparliamentary Agreement bolstered the two countries’ cooperation adding that she was pleased by the fact that both houses of the Russian parliament boast a friendship group with Serbia.

The Committee Deputy Chairperson also underlined economic and political cooperation as vital for the development of bilateral relations between the two countries which currently enjoy trade worth 2.1 million USD and added that Serbia is interested in seeing a higher presence of Russian firms on its market. She also hopes for a more pronounced presence of Serbian products on the Russian market and that the agreements the two countries’ presidents are to sign in December in Moscow would contribute to it.

Filipovski thanked Russia for its principled stance on Serbia’s integrity and sovereignty and for not recognizing Kosovo-Metohija, adding that Serbia is a military neutral country which has paid dearly for its sovereignty and neutrality and does not intend to join NATO. She said that Serbia’s chief foreign policy goal is to join the European Union, but at the same time strengthen its ties with Russia and China.

The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council’s Committee on Foreign Affairs Andrey Klimov said that Russia would continue to support Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty when it comes to Kosovo-Metohija adding that he appreciated the fact that Serbian has not instated sanctions against Russia. He added that he would like to see the two countries’ cooperation expand and strengthen through the Eurasian Economic Union thus expanding their market and trade.

Oxana Buriko, member of the Russian Federation Council’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, invited Filipovski to the Eurasian Women’s Forum in September of next year, adding they would meet again at the conference “Parliamentarians in the fight against narcotics” in Moscow in early December.

The officials also discussed strengthening cultural and educational cooperation and marking the anniversary of diplomatic relations in both countries next year.
