ASMARA - Serbia's Minister for Equal Regional Development Edin Djerlek met on Wednesday in Asmara with Eritrean FM Osman Saleh Mohammed to discuss bilateral relations and advancement of overall cooperation.

Djerlek noted that his trip to Eritrea was the first official visit to the country by a Serbian official since the establishment of Serbia-Eritrea diplomatic relations.

Serbia is "firmly committed to full membership in the EU, but also wants to strengthen friendships forged during the time of the Non-Aligned (Movement)."
