Gojkovic and Senator Lima agreed to promote cooperation between the two parliaments as well as interparliamentary relations, saying that an exchange of visits and meetings between the two heads of parliament could prove beneficial to that end, especially since next year marks the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The officials opined that intensifying cooperation between Serbia and Brazil’s parliamentary friendship groups in the coming period would be very beneficial and also spoke about cooperation in international parliamentary organizations and exchanging experiences related to political reform and gender equality.

The National Assembly Speaker thanked Brazil for not recognizing the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo-Metohija and respecting Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as proved in Kosovo-Metohija’s thwarted attempt to join UNESCO and other international organizations and bodies.

The officials also noted that there is considerable potential to develop economic cooperation and boost investments especially in the fields of energy and infrastructure, as well as advance touristic and cultural cooperation.
