Thank you very much for coming to Serbia during the strongest wave and attack of the corona virus in Serbia and all of Europe and showing how much friendship the French state, the president and the government have with our country. Today an important agreement was signed. Before the end of next year, we will start serious construction works. We have a lot of work left, hard and hard – said the president.

– Now the agreement has been signed, thanks to the determination of the President of France and the commitment of the French partners, as well as our hard work and progress – said Vučić.

France confirms its interest in supporting priority strategic projects in Serbia and in committing its financial resources.
– Today we signed a very important agreement with the Government of the French Republic, on cooperation in the implementation of priority infrastructure projects. I am referring specifically to the project to build a metro in Belgrade, and to the project to improve and increase the efficiency of the electricity distribution network in our country – said the Minister.
