Foreign Affairs Committee Members Host Georgian Delegation

Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee, headed by Marina Ragus, met with a delegation of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Parliament of Georgia today at the National Assembly House to discuss strengthening political dialogue, encouraging economic exchange, mutual support, and closer ties between the two very similar nations.

The Chairperson of the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs Committee Marina Ragus took the opportunity to thank the delegation for their arrival, which, as she pointed out, coincided with the day marking the 26th anniversary of the NATO aggression against the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the consequences of which Serbia is still feeling. She also thanked Georgia for its non-recognition of so-called Kosovo and the support it provides to our country regarding its territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as its abstention in voting on the Srebrenica Resolution. Ragus noted that very similar crises, which occurred three decades ago in South East Europe, are happening almost all over the world today. With that in mind, she added that Serbia will continue to support the territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognised borders. From the perspective of foreign policy, the Committee Chairperson also spoke about the cooperation the two countries can develop in the field of modern technologies, innovations, and the creative industry, mentioning the construction of the BIO4 Campus. "I would like our parliamentarians to advance cooperation to the highest possible level, precisely because we understand and support each other so well," Ragus stressed.

The head of the Georgian delegation Nikoloz Samkharadze stressed that, in the currently very complex geopolitical mosaic, mutual support of friendly countries, dialogue and respect for international law are of crucial importance. He emphasised the importance of parliamentary diplomacy and added that a Parliamentary Friendship Group with Serbia will soon be established in the Georgian Parliament, which will represent another mechanism for closer relations between the two countries. Samkharadze said that preparations are underway for the opening of the Serbian embassy in Tbilisi and there was also talk of opening a direct flight between the capitals of the two countries, which would bring the two peoples closer, as well as facilitate various forms of business between Serbia and Georgia.

The officials noted that the similarity in culture and mentality of the two peoples, as well as religious affiliation, can contribute to deeper ties between Serbia and Georgia, and at the end of the meeting, it was concluded that both countries recognise the importance of maintaining strong ties and exploring new avenues of cooperation.

The meeting was attended by MPs Katarina Stojanovic and Tanja Radjenovic, and the Georgian delegation also included the Deputy Chairperson of the Georgian Foreign Relations Committee Mariam Lashkhi and member Irakli Mezurnishvili.
