"We had comprehensive consultations and an important conversation about our bilateral relations and economic cooperation. For us, the cooperation we have with the Republic of Srpska is of special importance, and these relations are set at a high and very responsible level. I can proudly say that always and at all times, we support each other," said President Vučić.
President Vučić said that the meeting also tackled the completion of the Čačak - Požega road construction, after which the road extends in three directions - towards Boljari, Užice and towards the Republic of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina to bring them drastically closer to Serbia.

President Vučić congratulated the President and the Government of the Republic of Srpska as well as Dodik, for managing to maintain macroeconomic stability in specific conditions, considering that they do not have so many foreign direct investments.
"Should there are any liquidity problems, I believe that Serbia will have the strength to help the Republic of Srpska," he said, adding that RS did not ask us to do that, but that he said this knowing what could happen in the autumn regarding the coronavirus epidemic.
President Vučić pointed out that Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most important partners for Serbia, that the trade exchange amounts to almost two billion, and that there is a desire to improve cooperation further and establish a complete communication network.
