The Mayor of Novi Sad, Miloš Vučević, received the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Serbia, H.E. Oleksandr Aleksandrovych.

They discussed the friendship between Ukraine and Serbia and the two fraternal Slavic peoples, as well as the importance of deepening it at the local level. They emphasized that there are many areas in which the Embassy and the City can cooperate, primarily in the field of culture, and in line with the current situation in the world facing the pandemic.

The interlocutors referred to the previous cooperation of Novi Sad with the city of Lviv, which is more than two decades long, and which will be crowned by the erection of a monument to the Ukrainian poet, painter and freedom fighter of the Slavic peoples, Taras Shevchenko, in Novi Sad. The bust is a gift from the City of Lviv to the citizens of Novi Sad and is the work of a famous Ukrainian sculptor, and will be errected by the end of the year.

Ambassador Oleksandr Aleksandrovych expressed his satisfaction with the deepening of cooperation, and reminded that the Ukrainian Lviv has two streets whose names indicate the tradition of nurturing good relations between the two countries, namely Srpska Street and Vuka Karadžića Street.
