Speaking about economic cooperation, the President reiterated that Germany is Serbia's largest foreign trade partner and that our country is interested in further strengthening this cooperation, since Serbia is increasingly profiling itself as one of the world's most attractive and safest investment destinations.
The President emphasized that Serbia stands for full and consistent implementation of the Dayton Agreement, but opposes the imposed solutions that do not enjoy the consent of all three constituent peoples, believing that such decisions can not lead to prosperity and stability in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
