Borko Stefanovic said that the Republic of Korea is a friendly country, highlighting the importance of economic relations and investments of Korean companies in Serbia.

Recalling the intensive interparliamentary cooperation that existed before the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Ambassador Jaewoong Lee opined that the visit of the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Korea, scheduled for the end of October, would contribute to the further continuation of this successful cooperation.

The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee mentioned the possibility of exchanging visits by delegations of the two parliaments’ working bodies, as well as parliamentary friendship groups, with the aim of establishing closer contacts between Serbian and Korean parliamentarians.

The meeting also touched on the current situation in Europe and the world. Borko Stefanovic welcomed the efforts of the Republic of Korea to maintain peace in East Asia. He said that the crisis caused by the war in Ukraine opens up the possibility for Serbia and other Balkan countries to make strategic decisions important for the future and perspectives of these countries. In this sense, he said that, as the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, he will propose to the Committee and the National Assembly to adopt a document harmonising Serbia's foreign policy with that of the European Union. Opining that it would be a rational decision in the interest of Serbia and its citizens, the officials agreed that the harmonisation of Serbia's foreign policy with the EU would be a positive signal for new investments by Korean companies, as well as other companies from East Asia.

Speaking about the situation in Kosovo-Metohija, Borko Stefanovic stated that Serbia is committed to continuing the dialogue with Pristina, in order to resolve all open issues, except for the recognition of the independence of so-called Kosovo. Ambassador Jaewoong Lee welcomed the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, which would lead to a sustainable and long-term solution.
