"Not 16 percent - you heard me correctly - 16 times higher than it was. Through strategic cooperation councils, we are also establishing new relations, the closest possible relations with Azerbaijan, and I believe this is of exceptional importance for the Republic of Serbia and its citizens", Vucic said at a joint press conference with Aliyev, who is on an official visit to Serbia.
As he noted, cooperation between the two countries in various spheres of social life can and must become even more significant and extensive.
