The visit concluded with the signing of memoranda of understanding on economic cooperation between the Serbian government and the UK’s Department for Business and Trade, security collaboration between Serbia’s Interior Ministry and the UK Home Office to combat organized crime in migration, and digital and telecommunications partnership between Serbia’s Ministry of Information and the UK Foreign Office.
