ZAGREB, July 19, 2018 – Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić met in Belgrade on Thursday with the Croat member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Dragan Čović, saying that he supported the country’s integrity and cooperation between its three constituent peoples, Vučić’s office said in a press release.
Vučić and Čović discussed the further advancement of relations between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, overall relations between the Serbs and Croats, and the situation in the region. “President Vučić supported the advancement of relations, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s territorial integrity and cooperation between all three peoples,” the press release said.
They discussed joint infrastructure projects and the positive results of this year’s International Economic Fair in Mostar, when Serbia was the partner country.
Čović informed Vučić of the importance of maintaining regional stability, particularly after the elections in Bosnia, scheduled for October. He informed Vučić of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency’s initiative to organise a regional round table debate on the goals of sustainable development.
According to the initiative, the presidents of neighbouring countries – Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro, which are signatories to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – would participate in the round table debate which should “serve to boost additional rapprochement and cooperation in the region,” the press release said.
