Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev signed an agreement on the establishment of the Council for Strategic Partnership between Serbia and Azerbaijan.

The agreements between the governments of Serbia and Azerbaijan on readmission were signed by the interior ministers of the two countries, Bratislav Gašić and Vilajet Eyvazov.

The Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of the Government of Serbia and the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan was signed by Goran Vesić and Rashad Nabiyev.

Agreements were also signed in the areas of trade, social security, and cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises. The President of Serbia addressed the media first.

"Dear President Aliyev, dear friend, respected ministers in the Government of Azerbaijan, I am happy that we can host a sincere friend of Serbia. We had a series of high-quality talks," said Vučić.

He pointed out that he is sorry because the president of Azerbaijan will not be able to stay longer in Belgrade due to many commitments.

"I hope they will come to us again soon. Serbia and Azerbaijan have a lot in common. Both countries hold on to their territorial integrity, and we are fighting on the basis of the international order based on the UN Charter. I learned from President Aliyev that there is little international law left worldwide, i.e. that few countries stick to it," said the President of Serbia.

He added that our relations with Azerbaijan have been raised to a new level. Vučić expressed his expectation that in the next 20 days he will visit Azerbaijan and continue the discussion on important issues and deepen agreements on strategic cooperation.

The President of Serbia said that we will protect our country at least half as successfully as Azerbaijan and pointed out that we know how to recognize our friends. After the President of Serbia, the President of Azerbaijan spoke. Aliyev pointed out that the signed documents represent the legal basis for relations between the two countries.

The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, at a joint conference with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said today that the basic factor in the development of our two countries is the friendship between him and Vučić. "We cooperate successfully in numerous areas. Serbia and Azerbaijan have always supported each other in the international arena," Aliyev said.

"Vučić and I are bound by friendship, and this is a fundamental factor for the development of our relations. The documents related to the strategic partnership are of great importance. Serbia and Azerbaijan have always supported each other in the international arena, and as Vučić said, we support each other in the fight for territorial integrity," he said.

Aliyev pointed out that parts of our two countries were under occupation for a long time, and reminded of the UN resolutions, and that these problems were not solved. "It shows that the decisions and Resolutions made by international organizations are selective.

Sometimes the UN Security Council adopts resolutions in days, sometimes it takes a few hours, but when it comes to our countries, we had to wait 27 years," said the President of Azerbaijan.

He added that his country had to resort to force and the right to self-defense, and that every country has that right.
