call i should say this is somewhat against the protocol because it's deeper than that it's very sincere. and i would like to acknowledge how much i appreciate this award it's a great importance to me and the reason i say this is. that me getting. awarded this order by the president of russia vladimir putin which you will which is very special i am emphasizing this very fact which because. putting. is the leader of a very important state. he made great he protected russia's interests. and he also protected the interests of the serbian people. our people people of serbia will never forget that it

was the middle put. and what he did for us back. in two thousand. dollars you love it when russia vetoed. the u.k. proposed resolution in the u.n. security council look at what i thought. i proposed to that it says serbia would be. going through not all. proclaimed to be the people who committed the crime of genocide but with us that would not have been unfair that have been unfair. why. very much indeed. to him for that and we shall continue working. to repay that in the future

which is pushing. the political relations between our countries are very important we had the opportunity. to deepen and expand the scope of our relations. to go to school you got us to be a political i am not going to be speaking of the. other politicians or to. talk about their love for pushing tolstoy and does so you have scale only. but this is a board that i received today. not just with the media he's a great duty from the machine. to work more to come to helping the russian serbian relations i am proud of serbia proud of my homeland and this is my entire country deserves this award. recently in the last few years serbia has been successful in maintaining its independence and

territorial integrity and its military independence the prison year. and getting this award for no means to was acknowledged meant that we have been successful in maintaining serbia as a free state once again i would like to say thank you mr president that you value and understand the difficult situation our country is in some countries and finally i would like to say. that i am grateful to my family. because of it because everything i say. is already mentioned is a great on there and it's a great on that for my family and i would like to devote a ward to my party. and to their what each family from a small village to police where people always lie

a lot of dross as much as they love serbia and so now i'm going to. continue in serbian as a follower of excess fema model to graduate in a sort of be it with supporters of the political ms obvious no use lobel no sort of you are probably going to join in a sort of year to support the traveling political now lucky rituals we need your to go out and quite a could you possibly say as a colleague of my dead sea quest will another talk is that surely you will be louis forgot so he was of no as i got leave of the class showed him another company a little more manageable millett see the in the early conservatism i will kind of. thank you thank you.

thank me god products i don't want only call i am going to have i'm not going to get me it's optional. what do you call that entails a media but i think i pull because that to be alexander will teach you but i think he could also get it out seem like he made up with you know more limpid to be going to pull week you thought he had done and say all but at the present resolved it. is a dummy to trust someone a similar political. we're going to do sort of stream. we'll do a little look at your research. so we've just being listening to a joint conference there with the president of belgrade oleksandr. wagner putin on his first official trip in twenty nine team let's cross live to belgrade where that was happening. has been standing by to give us the latest on some of those talks what it means what's the significance of that meeting today or. well it is really a very symbolic meeting it is

a very symbolic visit of vladimir putin to both great to him and well he was welcomed very very warmly just in fact held a press conference from what i can see and really change some very very nice words and in fact the feeling is not only mutual between the serbian president and the russian president vladimir putin it is also the serbian people who have been welcoming the russian president really really warmly as a as of now when in fact thousands of people are marching through the streets of belgrade just greeting the russian president on the serbian soil right now now in fact this is something of a response i should say to wednesday protests by the opposition also thousands of people showed up yesterday here and in fact speaking over these welcomes and of the of this warmth between the countries really serbia holds this unique position it is kind of between the e.u. and europe and has interests in both regions but it doesn't really spoil the

relations with russia because even despite serbia being kind of oriented towards europe it is still it's still maintains that it world no matter wat maintain a very very strong and friendly relations with russia in fact it's. the devil's in the detail they say as the russian president approached belgrade it was it's courted by russian fighter jets by serbian fighter jets which were produced in russia and then we granted given to serbia as part of a something of a helping hand to a friend then upon landing the russian president in the his turn he sat the serbian president alongside him in the new in the new vehicle in the new presidential vehicle and so something of a very big privilege really there also we do know in fact already that the serbian president did gift putin a dog it is a type of

a shepherd and so this is this if i'm correct i think this is already the fourth the dog owned by putin so his turning into something of a dog breeder i should say in a way at least something to consider as maybe as a side career for him so so far very heartwarming very welcome in fact we will be moving on to do the demonstration to maybe talk to people and they will be keeping you up to speed with that igor sell off live in belgrade thank you for. cross back to the media conference just about listen to what's been spoken about here is alexander which as you do not have any outstanding or pending duties we are always on time. obviously back. over three years that's one thing i was thinking about more i'm going to keep up

with all these obligations when i interacted to mr miller from that's what was constantly on my mind my going to keep all the agreements but i'm just saying i haven't been able to and serbia is developing well and we have to talk a lot of things today. very grateful. for all. the contributions for maintenance of the same. feed for all. the focus and russia is going to give was a very rare manuscript in pain from the gospel that is highly venue great and serbia way appreciate it as well so we have a lot of achievements and i would be less well corporation and it is of course to. make a great satisfaction that i want to say that we have a high level of understanding on

a lot of. political issues in agenda and on the great wall of the two president of russia mr thornton and foreign minister law of roles and other agencies counterparts for help in serbia maintain its independence is suffering to territorial integrity. i reported to mr president about what's going on in costs. and such problems as introducing illegally some taxes there because when i was because i also reported. president puts an about costs about creating an army of its own also illegally. and we have considerable support from him so we were on that issue and i also confirmed serbia's reading institue continue dialogue that the side of serbia is against any conflict russia today i'm afraid that some parties are

against a political dialogue and compromising but we are committed to this play but we're not going to let a new one when serbia be once again i would like to wish you mr president that you always be welcome. in serbia i hope you are happy here at central and go to people are cheering for you people in the street people are prone to our main cathedral all waiting to cheer for you appreciate how much you have done for us. they have all come. here to see you to pay their respects to you because she is that once again thank you very much for this great dialogue we have today and for signing all these agreements i'm politically it's really proud of the fact that there's been a great progress in corporation in that we digital technology they aren't

regiment. exhibit is he held up the portrait of his grandfather walking through the streets of moscow and. belgrade. was marking the seventy year anniversary of the river liberation of this city from not see occupancies. i remember this these moments very well we have discussed all issues of our bilateral relations and we have exchanged opinions on number of regional and global issues. we. are aiming to add to developing a global partnership with serbia which is traditional to the nations of our two countries in the spirit of cooperation and friendship now we have emphasized

trade cooperation and continue to increase our trade over the past eleven months. and there's been an increase of two percent which. last year it was twenty three percent and now it's. two billion dollars. the russian serbian intergovernmental committee on trade economic scientific and technical cooperation know which has been quite successful and productive and we know the reports we've all seen the reports of the members of this committee from which we have continuing contacts between. scientific and. because of our two countries between the producers of our two countries the companies. and the first four months three months of this year we will. overview the results of the agreements we've signed before you will

believe that there is there are options to diversify our corporation which will be open. recently in belgrade there's been a new round of consultation on stations aimed at reaching a new agreement between the serbia and the eurasian economic union. but there's been a twenty percent increase in the deliveries of russian natural gas to serbia it is now ten billion cubic meters and we are hoping to achieve three point five billion cubic meters in twenty twenty two years i was so we were discussing the production of an underground. natural gas storage we are hoping to expand to be in.

gas and transportation network gets transportation service. network which will help the entire region when you get gas which has been investing into serbia and into. so been there and i mean the oil company. three billion dollars is hoping to spend wind point four million more. into the company. it is one of the leading which use oil and gas companies in europe to be. our machines company has. in construction or got the. power station as well as a number of other. power plants so i missed that one and. we

have plans for creating new projects for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. you will be using. high tech starting edge of russian technologies in serbia. russia you've been railways are. going there's a great contribution of the russian railways into the serbian railways there is. probably a joint. dispatch center than twelve hours expand the scale of transportation available to us we have also discussed issues of defense corp will continue to support their leadership in increasing their defenses and defense capabilities move will enhance cooperation with their military and to prizes and will continue military exercises joint military exercises we have also

discussed humanitarian ties very intensive. over russian band and troops you go off and come to perform in serbia. there's been successful projects such as the project to create the internal. interior of the. serbian. church and the saints church and i will be using this opportunity to build this church later today . another. issue. that's only be testament to our friendship is. the fact that the one hundred to six to six. was

a rush age of education of the gospel is currently being held in serbia. and of the that engine document. you can use of course russia will continue to help serbia in preparing specialists you know this i could to make you just serbian. students have achieved what one hundred twenty we. fellowship which is going to stay with us russia and serbia are interested in achieving and maintaining a stable situation in the balkans yes it was serbia knows our position very well possible and we stand for. a. viable solution. based on resolution of the security council twelve fifteen forty four and with

regards to the course of our issue and look at all unfortunately there's been a number of provocations from the authorities in kosovo which escalated the situation considerably i'm talking about the opposite when you look at. the statement on the creation of the army. so-called army of kosovo which goes against the resolution which excludes. creation of any military groups within the country. russia is very concerned with this. because we understand that actions by kosovo like that can lead to destabilizing destabilisation in the balkans overall our meeting has been very successful and very productive and i would like to thank mr president and all of our colleagues for these productive talks and i would like to think the people of belgrade and the people of serbia for this hospitable. treatments for you all for

our delegation i am convinced that the agreements we've reached today will help improve russian serbian first ship in the future thank you so much look at that he was going to have a place in the kingdom of heaven are some of the put up you know thank you very much mr president how to only time for took questions so there's a question you promised you know it was. a couple in leeds you know i would like to ask both presidents to discuss. the prospects of going to nation of construction of the turkish stream of i am european territory if yes when the necessary permits shall be opting out and what obstacles could the project have. in terms of for all the pressures and possible sanctions against serbia. and including the such factor as the pressure in relation to the other. but also gas pipeline

project and the second question is asked you to discuss so russia's possible mediation. in the course of a petition situation and in what form wanted would be to. as for your first question. chiqui immobile. expects a small loss from the turkish dream project until we have done it slowly. and we have done a lot by now. to try to do it with a lot i'm not sure what it was kind of the pressure. that she was talking about on all the territory seen all the countries but because russia had no problems of any kind of moderate of you here in serbia we are ok with standing

pressure because we need gas industry needed gas and we used to gets it from coming from the territory of ukraine but now we have want to guess what do you buy a boat garia exactly why we're building this by applying. high importance to oz and this horizontally no. sure many also has. everything they need to get the new york stream growing. have been built already here five hundred thousand kilometers under the sea and all of us are interested in getting gas. by hasn't. seen any. here except gas from russia no matter what other supplies can be. we can and we did not want and it's not economically viable to say more painful

russian with you know the nationalities initials and we certainly wish to get the best of them are treated. russian gas as for your second question this will do to look at speaking of possible negotiations of course we did talk about the costs of those taxes so mysterious. if that were introduced. the problem is that it was possible in the story to you are again. not looking for a compromise we are hopeful that they will look for one who will want to look for one one day but for now it was clear that they were not ready to cooperate and previous solutions will. of course we've been talking with president clinton about thought. courts all people like good news it's

great to be able to report about this solution but it can't be that optimistic and speak about solution now because i don't see a solution in the near future i really hope we'll find but i'm glad i don't think it will be in the new risk future. speaking of energy issues that we are ready to. well implemented through the projects we got in the extension of the turkish stream into european countries to european consumers many people are interested in that. and we need to iron out the details we have plenty of resources to do that. so it's not an issue a way of we've been discussing this and working on that with serbia were talking about developing a transit infrastructure in serbia we are ready to invest resources into that that

would be about one billion the four hundred million dollars or so. this work is being prepared and is being worked on. but it would also depend on other countries the e.u. countries for example. will they be able to protect their sovereign interests in their dialogue with the e.u. institutions. when you actually. we try to create this south stream early but as you well know there were activities that made it impossible to get implemented visible to create. but as for the turkish dream we are ready for this step you described we are ready to make the investment into serbia but it's not really up to us at this point but next week i'm going to meet mr earlier one i know his position where well and i

know that turkey has been working in this direction along these lines to at once to create better relations with with its european neighbors and partners. as for. whether there are likely. some obstacles. and so on this time. from the north rim project no there are no there are no obstacles it does not in anywhere any way interfere with the turkish treated. next week in brussels we're going to discuss a number of corporation issues including the transit of natural gas through ukraine . and taking into account the increasing volume of. our gas. delivered to europe it's over two hundred billion cubic meters and it's continuing to grow it's not just the turkish stream and the north stream that are

going to be used to their full capacity is. or we could even retain some of the transit opportunities through ukraine now speaking about kosovo and the kosovo issue and russia has all that been actively included into this dialogue into this conversation as you've heard the european union decided to. act as a mediator in a number of issues but as you know not a lot of being not a lot is being done. there had to be serbian municipalities created in kosovo it was promised but nothing is being done according to un security council resolution twelve forty four. serbian police men and border patrol can be present in kosovo but

nothing of the sort is happening yet so we need to respect international law and only in this case we can expect a just and fair solution while our boy and i doubt it'll be easier to be able in islam. thank you regular until a vision of serbia has a question now but it's only come. question to president what churchill tamin thought it should. be too could you. post it will go on that the great interest of the british and the media this is mr putin's visit here and do you think there will be an increased pressure on our country. they try to pressurize to not have such great relations with russia to be distance ourselves from what i think was russia's support in kosovo problem.

i am sure that you already know. that. serbia considered to be one of its key partners in all question especially in the most important question such as the cost of a problem as you know probably this sense out of kofi girl has a huge ground around it now and they have been gathering since morning. where seventy thousand people as far as i know and just like president. all these people have come here to see you and to reach you. and maybe to hear a few words from you some words of support and friendship. what would you tell them about the cost of a problem. you know. which is. i wasn't planning to participate in any old the.
