Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic expressed gratitude to Egypt for its support on key issues important to Serbia, particularly for respecting Belgrade’s stance that Kosovo-Metohija remains part of Serbian territory. Her comments followed a meeting in Belgrade with Egyptian Senate President Abdel-Wahab Abdel-Razeq.
Brnabic highlighted the significant potential for deepening bilateral relations, noting Abdel-Razeq’s five-day visit as a testament to the strong bond between Serbia and Egypt. “This visit by the Senate President is paving the way for further cooperation, following high-level exchanges,” Brnabic said, referencing Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s meeting with the Egyptian President in 2022, during which a free trade agreement was signed.
Strengthening ties between the two countries is crucial, Brnabic added, emphasizing the role of their parliaments in advancing cooperation.
Abdel-Razeq, in turn, shared his pride in the longstanding friendship with Serbia and commitment to boosting bilateral cooperation. He acknowledged that recent presidential visits had established a solid foundation for relations and noted that his visit aimed to further invigorate parliamentary cooperation. Last month, Abdel-Razeq established a friendship association between the Egyptian Senate and the Serbian National Assembly to strengthen dialogue.
He also emphasized the need for enhanced coordination between Serbian and Egyptian lawmakers on mutual priorities, including trade and economic collaboration, as discussed in bilateral talks.
