JAGODINA --
Russian Ambassador to Serbia Aleksandr Konuzin says that his country supportes Serbia’s road towards EU.
“Russia supports Serbia on its way towards European Union, but Serbia’s cooperation with the EU must not be at the expense of Serbia’s cooperation with Russia."
"The cooperation has to be such that Serbia, Russia and EU all benefit from it. Both sides must benefit equally from the cooperation between Serbian and Russian businessmen,” Konuzin told a news conference in the town of Jagodina on Tuesday.
He also met with Jagodina Mayor Dragan Marković Palma and with the members of a business-political delegation of Jagodina, which will travel to Moscow on November 1.
The ambassador said that he had been present during the conversation of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Marković in Belgrade last week, and that the Russian side was "very well informed about the arrival of the delegation from Jagodina".
Marković stated that the main goal of their visit to Moscow "will be to establish business contacts between Serbia and Russia".
