The meeting was held on the occasion of completion of the diplomatic mission of Goran Aleksic in Ukraine. The attendants of the meeting devoted special attention to the issue of European integration of both States. According to Oleh Bilorus, "our countries undergo complicated transformations; however, they can no be considered as outsiders in Europe, hence the integration into the European institutions is inevitable both for Ukraine and Serbia".
Goran Aleksic informed about the positive changes in the bilateral relations between Ukraine and Serbia that took place during his mission in Ukraine. Thus, economic relations have intensified for the last couple of years. According to the Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia to Ukraine, the economic crisis did not influence on the current rate of trade-economic turnover between the countries.
Goran Aleksic highly appraised the work of the Committee and expressed his hopes for further successful cooperation aimed at ratification of bilateral and multilateral international agreements.
