The head of state remarked that Minsk and Belgrade are closely connected by the fate of their peoples. Belarusian and Serbian people have never been enemies, have never invaded someone else's lands and have been working hard for their happiness.

We would like to continue joint efforts to implement our agreements which were reached during our meetings in the previous years. The preservation of a high level of Belarus-Serbia cooperation will contribute to the further enhancement of the two countries' potential,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
