On July 27, newly appointed Ambassador of Serbia to RA Dragan
Jupanievatzi (residence Athens) handed his credentials to RA President
Serzh Sargsyan. Congratulating the Ambassador on the occasion of
assuming his post, S. Sargsyan expressed the hope that he will make
a contribution to development of bilateral relations.

Mentioning many historic-cultural communities of Armenian and Serbian
peoples and their warm attitude to each other, S. Sargsyan remembered
with gratitude that at difficult moments for the Armenian people
the Serbian people has always extended a helping hand. "We will
never forget the Jugoslavian pilots, who were going to help those
who suffered in the 1988 Spitak destructive earthquake and died in
an accident," he said.

S. Sargsyan said that the two countries have much potential of
cooperation in various spheres, and exact steps are needed for its
efficient realization. In that respect he attached much importance to
the coming official visit to Armenia by Serbian President Boris Tadic.

According to a report by the RA President’s Press Office, S. Sargsyan
and Dragan Jupanievatzi discussed issues regarding expansion of
economic and cultural contacts, completion of the legal-contractual
sphere, activization of interparliamentary contacts, and cooperation
within the framework of international structures.
