Vucic and Salvini will meet in Club Tolstoy starting at 19:00, the presidential press office has announced.

As previously announced by the Italian government, Matteo Salvini will be on an official visit to Belgrade on July 6 and 7.

The goal of the visit, the statement said, is to further strengthen cooperation between Italy and Serbia, with a special focus on the areas of infrastructure, traffic and economic development.

Vucic and Salvini previously met at the highest level in May 2019 in Rome, when Salvini served as Italian interior minister, and at the time confirmed Italy's support for Serbia's accession to the European Union.

Last year in August, the president of Serbia also hosted the prime minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, and during that working visit, a dinner was held during which bilateral relations and the process of Serbia's EU integration were discussed.
