The Memorandum of Understanding on shared use of premises of diplomatic and consular missions, signed today in Budapest between the Foreign Ministries of Serbia and Hungary, will allow Serbian and Hungarian diplomats to stay and work under the same roof.

Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic shared this news in a statement given after he signed the MoU with his Hungarian counterpart Péter Szijjártó, noting that this was demonstration of the relationship of utmost confidence existing between the two countries.

"The Memorandum we signed today will enable Serbian diplomacy to be present in states where Hungary has its diplomatic and consular missions, while enabling the presence of Hungarian diplomacy in countries where we have Embassies, and they do not", Minister Selakovic explained.

He expressed hope that the first Annex enabling the implementation of the Memorandum will be signed soon, during the sixth Joint Session of the Governments of Serbia and Hungary.

"Our diplomats will be spending time under the same roof, working together and socializing. This will certainly result in a better cooperation between the two states and even more so in a brotherly and collegial cooperation between the two Ministries", Minister Selakovic concluded.
