The view was echoed by both the government and opposition.
“We see that at least seven agreements between the two countries were signed during the visit, which is very important. Better cooperation is being sought because there is always room for better cooperation,” G17 Plus official Suzana Grubješić said, adding that Medvedev’s address to parliament had been very “stately.”
“His speech stayed within the bounds of what was expected. One new and interesting thing in the speech was his mentioning of a need to open discussions—first and foremost he meant Russia—with Europe regarding a new security framework,” said Democratic Party of Serbia MP Miloš Aligrudić .
“I think that this is the first and most important step in future cooperation between Serbia and Russia, especially since a majority in parliament and MPs were united in their stance on cooperation with Russia, that this is the future for Serbia, and what is most important is the possibility of economic cooperation that can be achieved with Russia,” said Serb Radical Party deputy leader Dragan Todorović .
