Chairman of the Serbia-Romania friendship group in the Serbian Parliament Radovan Arezina also participated in the official talks on Monday.
Also, on Tuesday, at the headquarters of the Presidency of Serbia, a protocol meeting took place of President Aleksandar Vucic and Simonis.
Simonis pointed out that Romania and Serbia share traditional friendly and close relations and reconfirmed that Romania supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia and that it will continue to support Serbia's European integration efforts, adding that the experience accumulated by Romania on this level can serve the similar efforts of Serbia.
During the discussions with the two high-ranking officials, it emerged that it is necessary to continue to strengthen economic ties and that there is room for further growth of trade, and that it is extremely important to continue working on common infrastructure projects, namely the construction of the Pancevo-Timisoara motorway, consolidating energy infrastructure and all other planned projects, as the consolidated connection of the two countries could greatly contribute to the achievement of these set goals.
