“I am pleased to have met with my colleague, Georgia’s Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Davit Songulashvili. We discussed how we can further strengthen our cooperation and long-standing partnership, which was reinforced following the recent visit of the President of Georgia to Serbia in December last year. I am confident that our sectoral cooperation, already at a high level, will deepen even further. Our agricultural sectors have strong potential to complement each other, as we share many similarities, including a strong wine culture.

Georgia is a country with a long tradition in winemaking and distinctive production methods,” said Dragan Glamočić.
