The event is hosted by the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Lower House of the Italian Parliament, Stefania Craxi, and the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate, Giulio Tremonti, with the support of the Institute for International Politics of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Italy.

In his address to the participants, Palalic emphasised the importance of an assembly such as the Mediterranean Dialogue, which connects not only continents, but also peoples, states, their traditions, history and future. He stressed that the Republic of Serbia has been actively participating in solidarity in all regional and international gatherings for many years, thus making a strong contribution to the development of peace and stability in the region. He recalled that Serbia's strategic goal is membership in the European Union. Numerous reforms, implemented in various sectors, have contributed to Serbia being one of the most stable countries in the region. Palalic emphasised that Serbia will continue to advocate for consistent respect for international law and the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states. He also emphasised that any condition that requires Serbia to renounce its territorial integrity and sovereignty is neither fair nor acceptable to our country. He also recalled the importance of parliamentary diplomacy, which in times of global challenges opens channels of communication that encourage better mutual understanding, with particular focus on dialogue as the key, because its absence leaves a void that prevents a constructive solution.
