Vucic with Sánchez: Spain’s principled support for Serbia’s territorial integrity

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic met today in Seville with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to whom he expressed gratitude for Spain’s consistent and principled support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia.

"An open discussion on all important topics with my friend Pedro Sánchez. We also talked about signing a contract for the construction of a bridge near Backa Palanka, which would benefit the entire South Backa District," Vucic wrote on Instagram. He is currently in Seville attending the United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development.

The meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister also addressed the current global situation, Serbia’s European future, as well as the strengthening of political dialogue, bilateral relations, and cooperation in all areas of social life.

"We exchanged views on key topics of the Conference, including the reform of the global financial architecture, mobilization of resources for sustainable development, and the importance of climate financing. We agreed that concrete steps and greater solidarity are needed to enable developing countries to have fairer access to financial resources," Vucic added.

He emphasized that it is always a pleasure to speak with someone who understands the principles of international law and sovereignty, and therefore thanked Sánchez for Spain’s unwavering and principled support for Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

"I believe that in the years ahead we will deepen our relations even further, in the spirit of solidarity, mutual understanding, and the European values we share," Vucic concluded.

As part of the plenary session, President Vucic will address the leaders of the participating countries at the Conference, which will focus on financing sustainable development and topics important for aligning the development agendas of the United Nations, international financial institutions, and other relevant stakeholders in this field.

The President of Serbia will also hold a series of bilateral meetings with leaders of the participating countries. At the invitation of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain, he will attend a dinner hosted by the royal couple for heads of state and government.
