President Vučić and I discussed our bilateral cooperation with Serbia – things that can make our infrastructure stronger, including our ports and railways in both countries, and strengthen our economies and security overall.

Today, we held a very important and productive meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. We are not merely maintaining this format. Within the Coalition, we are moving toward the point when we will be able to say that peace is drawing closer.

Right now, we have more capabilities to defend ourselves against cruise missiles – the relevant interceptors are simply more available in the world. And it would be very helpful if partners focused especially on protection against ballistic missiles – we discussed this a lot today – ballistic missiles that Russia started using more often and which are objectively harder to intercept.

We began this discussion earlier, and last year, at the end of last year, the relevant decisions were taken. In my view, those were also important, historic decisions, but we started this process. We reached an agreement in December. And today, we already have a decision on combat aviation. Swedish fighter jets that will definitely strengthen our air fleet and our air defense.

Today, the Prime Minister of Bulgaria and I signed a security agreement between our countries. In fact, our teams have been working on this for quite a long time. I am very pleased that we now have this ten-year agreement between our states.

We discussed energy cooperation, and there are things that can strengthen both of our countries. In particular, this concerns the development of our energy grids in Ukraine and Poland.
