Dačić received the ambassador of Cyprus in a farewell visit

Minister Dačić expressed his gratitude to Ambassador Theophylactou for his personal contribution to the intensification of political dialogue and cooperation between Serbia and Cyprus, considering that during his tenure, significant contacts of high-ranking officials of the two countries were realised, and the overall cooperation was raised to an even higher level.

The Head of Serbian diplomacy, Mr. Dačić expressed his gratitude for the continuous support of the Republic of Cyprus to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia, i.e. the consistent and principled stance on non-recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of so-called Kosovo, while expressing the hope that Cyprus will maintain that position, both bilaterally and in international organisations.

During the dialogue, it was noted that the relations between the two countries were substantive, of high-quality and constantly on the rise and they confirmed the mutual readiness for further strengthening of mutual dialogue, exchange of visits at all levels and further intense connection of the two countries through the enhancement of cooperation in a large number of areas, especially on the economic front.

The Head of Serbian diplomacy wished the Ambassador much success in his professional and personal endeavors, stating that he could always count on the friendship of Serbia and the Serbian people.

Ambassador Theophylactou assessed that the special quality of the relations between Serbia and Cyprus was derived from the fact that Serbs and Cypriots had always been together and supported each other both in good and bad times.

He stated that he carried very fond memories from Serbia, expressing his gratitude for the exceptional understanding and cooperation of the state leadership, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other state institutions of the Republic of Serbia.
