BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 18. President Ilham
Aliyev has done much to develop friendship between Azerbaijan and
Serbia, said Aleksandar Vučić, President of the Republic of Serbia,

Vučić made the remarks on social media following the signing of
a commercial contract with the Azerbaijani company AzVirt for the
design and construction of a high-speed highway section connecting
the Backi Breg border crossing with several northern Serbian
cities. The Serbian president attended the signing ceremony.
“Today’s contract with Azvirt represents one of the key elements
of our ‘Serbia 2030-2035’ plan. The Republic of Serbia will provide
financing, and we have agreed to complete the first section within
two years. This project is of great importance for citizens in
northern Serbia,” he said.
Vučić noted that the construction of the highway would bring
Sombor closer to Belgrade, attract investors, and redirect freight
traffic away from city centers.
“This means cleaner air for citizens and reduced pressure on
existing road infrastructure. We will connect cities and people,
ensure greater mobility, and provide better employment
opportunities. I would like to thank our partners from Azerbaijan
and ask them to convey my warmest greetings to my friend and
brother, President Ilham Aliyev, who has done much to develop
friendship and partnership between our countries. I look forward to
visiting Azerbaijan, as well as the launch of the first Air Serbia
flight to Baku, which will further enhance cooperation between
Serbia and Azerbaijan and strengthen ties between our peoples.
I am pleased that we have brought this to completion today. I
thank everyone and congratulate the citizens of northern Serbia;
this marks a new beginning and a better life for them. I am
confident that citizens will be satisfied and that this is the
