Dr Orlic spoke of the nascent interest in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia for further cooperation with the UK Parliament, the active PFG with the UK and the cooperation with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. "Serbia is also interested in the further strengthening of economic cooperation, where we have been achieving record results in recent years," said Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. "Serbia is firmly committed to its policy of peace and stability," said Dr Orlic. He added that the state policy, led by the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic, has the firm and convincing support of the people, as demonstrated in the elections, and that same state policy, in accordance with the will of the people, is also pursued by the National Assembly and the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

She also expressed satisfaction with the regular activities the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia organises to promote the aforementioned goal.
