Zelenskyy makes historic official visit to Serbia to meet Vučić

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy conducted a historic first official visit to Belgrade, Serbia, on 7-8 August 2026. The visit aimed to strengthen bilateral relations and discuss European integration, economic cooperation, energy, and security issues.

During the summit, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and President Zelenskyy emphasized mutual support for territorial integrity and discussed paths toward European Union membership. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture and the Ukrainian State Service for Food Safety regarding animal health and food safety.

Despite the improved dialogue, President Vučić reiterated that Serbia's policy of not imposing sanctions on Russia remains unchanged, citing historic ties and energy dependence on Moscow. The leaders also touched upon economic ties, noting that Serbian-Ukrainian trade reached approximately $450 million last year.
