The Head of the delegation to IAO Aleksandar Cotric said that Serbia and Poland have enjoyed historically good relations, underlining the two nations’ closeness and similarity when it comes to origin, language, religion, history and ample diaspora.
Presenting the Podlasie region, Koritski said it was well-known for its agriculture, food production and dairy processing. In view of the importance of agricultural production in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, the officials agreed that it would be useful to prompt regional cooperation between Vojvodina and the Podlasie region with a view to exchanging agricultural experience.
Poland’s European Union accession experience is also very important for Serbia, especially that relating to project drafting and efficient use of European agricultural development funds, the officials agreed.
They also pointed out the significance of deepening cultural cooperation between Serbia and Poland, something which would benefit from the photo exhibit “Colours of Orthodoxy – Poland”, organised by the Polish Embassy in Belgrade, the opening of which would also be attended by the Polish delegation.
