Bratislava, October 18 (TASR) - Foreign Affairs Minister Juraj Blanar (Smer-SD) on Friday morning left for a one-day visit to Serbia, where he is scheduled to meet Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Premier Milos Vucevic and Foreign Affairs Minister Marko Djuric. "Support for Serbia's EU integration proces and the intensification of the Slovak-Serbian economic and political dialogue will be high on the agenda of the minister's bilateral talks," Foreign Affairs Ministry's communication department has informed TASR. As part of his agenda, Blanar will also meet representatives of Slovak companies operating in Serbia and the ethnic Slovak minority. He will ceremonially open Slovakia's honorary consulate in Backi Petrovac. "The new honorary consulate will be beneficial for the economic cooperation between the two countries and at the same time for the development and care of the ethnic Slovak minority in the Voivodina region, which is the third most numerous ethnic minority living in this area," stated the ministry. ko
