He also reminded those in attendance that the Serbian Government recently passed a decision declaring 25th May as the Day of Friendship with the Nations of Africa.
“As the most prominent Yugoslav successor state when it comes to policies regarding Africa, Serbia has maintained friendly relations for decades – but as of this year, for the first time and officially, we decided to include the date of 25th May in the calendar of the most important dates in Serbia, and to move even closer to you in celebration – said Dačić.
