«This year, we have together made tangible success in bilateral partnership. Russian-Serbian summits promoted understanding and confidence in the political dialogue, and paved the way for major progress in economic relations. Of special importance in this context are new oil-and-gas agreements. We hope that a relevant intergovernmental agreement will enter into force as soon as possible. We are willing to implement the entire bilateral package together.
We look forward to constructive cooperation with the Serbian Government for the sake of our countries and nations. I assure you that Russia unfailingly supports Serbia's principled stance on the Kosovo problem. We are determined to further coordinate our support of the legal grounds of the present world order».
