Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday in Tashkent Serbia and Uzbekistan had agreed on mutual political support at all levels, from the UN to all other organisations, and that he expected the two countries to sign a FTA and an agreement on protection of investments in the future.

"I see enormous opportunities for cooperation between our countries, we have agreed on mutual political support at all levels, in all international organisations, from the UN to all other institutions, bodies and organisations. Tomorrow we will have a strenuous day and the opening of the 43rd UNESCO General Conference the day after tomorrow," Vucic told reporters, recapping the first day of a visit to Uzbekistan.

He said important agreements that were the foundations for a preferential trade agreement had been signed earlier in the day.

"I am hoping for a FTA in the future and an agreement on protection of investments and economic and trade cooperation," he said.

He announced that, after launching flights to Georgia and Baku, Serbia's national airline would also start flying to Samarkand or Tashkent, depending on what an analysis pointed to as the better destination.
