Vucic meets with Bartolone, wraps up visit to France

PARIS - Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic on Friday wrapped up a visit to France with a meeting with Claude Bartolone, president of the National Assembly of France.

They discussed bilateral cooperation, France's support for Serbia's EU path and economic cooperation.

Serbia has the support of France, which has recognised the willingness of the Serbian government to take its country to the European Union, Bartolone noted.

Vucic highlighted the need to strengthen bilateral trade, thanking France for supporting Serbia's European integration.

"France has a great friend in the Balkans that it can always count on, just like we know that we can count on you," Vucic noted, inviting Bertolone and a parliamentary delegation to visit Serbia, the Serbian government said in a statement.
