He noted that he knew Vucic as a true supporter of the closest and warmest relations between Russia and Serbia.

According to Putin, thanks largely to the personal participation of the Serbian president, the interaction between the two countries is successfully moving in all directions and is not subject to international and political conjuncture.

“We highly appreciate this position of principle of yours, dear Mr. President,” the Russian president noted.

Earlier, Putin signed a decree awarding Vuchich the Order of Alexander Nevsky for his great contribution to the development of cooperation between Russia and Serbia.
