The Head and of the Parliamentary Friendship Group with Finland Tijana Davidovac and PFG members Dr Svetlana Nikolic Pavlovic, Dr Ivan Bauer and Dr Ljubinko Rakonjac met with the Finnish Ambassador to Serbia H.E. Pertti Juhani Ikonen.


The Head of the PFG with Finland Tijana Davidovac said that the good relations between Serbia and Finland could be furthered by intensifying interparliamentary cooperation and exchanging PFG visits.
