The Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia Ana Brnabic assessed today, in a conversation with Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Dmitry Nikolayevich Patrushev, that there is great potential for further development of trade relations and partnerships in agriculture, primarily thanks to good interstate relations, mutual support and continuity in political dialogue.

Brnabic pointed out that an additional incentive is the entry into force of the Free Trade Agreement with the Eurasian Economic Union in July this year, which, as she explained, will enable greater placement of Serbian products, not only on the Russian market, but also beyond.

Patrushev positively assessed the cooperation between the two countries in the field of agriculture, and pointed out that the holding of agricultural fairs is an opportunity to connect Serbian and Russian companies and producers and increase trade in the field of agriculture.

He stated that the Russian side is also interested in joint investments in agricultural products in order to facilitate exports to markets with which the two countries have signed free trade agreements.

It was pointed out at the meeting that Serbia is a market with great potential for investors who want to invest in agriculture.

Also, the Prime Minister expressed gratitude for Russia's firm and consistent support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia and the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina in finding a compromise solution, as well as continuous support in international institutions.
