Azerbaijan enjoys growing strategic importance for Europe

Serbia's newly-appointed ambassador to Baku Nebojsa Rodic has hailed Azerbaijan`s importance as an important energy supplier of Europe.

"Azerbaijan enjoys growing strategic importance for Europe. The issue became topical in light of Europe`s needing alternative gas sources," Rodic said in an interview with Serbian "b92" news portal

Rodic emphasized that Azerbaijan is one of the world`s five emerging energy markets.

Appraising Serbian-Azerbaijani economic relations, he said "We have signed a total of 24 bilateral agreements so far. Our countries enjoy growing trade."

The ambassador also hailed military and defense industry cooperation between Serbia and Azerbaijan.

Rodic said the Serbian government has always attached particular attention to building close relations with Azerbaijan. "The joint business forum that will be held in Baku next year will focus on the expansion of trade and economic cooperation," he noted.

The Azerbaijani-Serbian relations, which are based on the principles of mutual respect and confidence, are rapidly developing. The two countries have significant opportunities to develop cooperation in the construction of infrastructure facilities, tourism, and education.
