In a very cordial meeting both officials noted the need to invest further effort in improving the relations between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly in the economic sphere. Spiric stressed that cooperation between the countries in the region is extremely important to both stabilise the situation and successfully meet the prerequisites for these countries’ progress toward EU membership. He said that there were some unaddressed issues such as borders and former SFRY succession which could be resolved more quickly and easily by intensifying cooperation between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

National Assembly Speaker Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic stated that the two countries’ relations are on the rise, emphasising the importance of intense parliamentary cooperation. To that end she stressed that she expected her visit to Sarajevo would soon be realised. Djukic-Dejanovic agreed with the belief that regional cooperation is significant for more efficient joint efforts at international forums.
