Putin to meet with Vucic on Thursday - report

Vucic began a three-day visit to the Russian Federation by opening a Russia-Serbia business forum on Tuesday.

He is due to meet with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and members of his cabinet. Vucic will also speak with a number of representatives of Russian companies.

On Tuesday, Vucic opened a Russian-Serbian business forum in Moscow.

Representatives of about 120 Serbian and about 100 Russian companies will have an opportunity to address investment conditions in Serbia as well as specific plans in direct discussions, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia President Marko Cadez said earlier.

"I expect that we will return with concrete agreements," Cadez said, adding that the Serbian business delegation is the largest and most important to ever visit the Russian Federation.

The companies represented are mostly from the agriculture and food industries, the metal processing industry, rubber and plastics producers and companies from the tourism industry, and we should expect good results, Cadez noted.
