Sobotka congratulated Gojkovic for the organization of the IPU Assembly, for bringing it home to Europe, its point of origin, agreed that Europe’s engagement is very important and that Serbia is like a bridge, and reminded the Serbian Assembly Speaker that Austria will next year be host to the IPU Conference of Speakers of Parliament.
