PM Skerrit meets with Serbian Leader

Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic

Prime Minister Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade on Thursday to discuss development of bilateral relations in areas of mutual interest, economic cooperation, and geopolitical and regional affairs.

According to Belgrade’s Tanjug News Agency, the Serbian Leader also invited the Commonwealth of Dominica to EXPO 2027 and thanked the country for supporting Serbia’s successful bid to host the prestigious event.

“We will continue to develop overall cooperation in all areas of mutual interest, both with the Commonwealth of Dominica and within regional organisations in the Western hemisphere in which Serbia has observer status,” President Vucic said.

The Prime Minister also met with the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, Ana Brnabic.

Prime Minister Skerrit is in the region after attending the Our Oceans Conference, which ended in Athens, Greece on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, he met with His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco on the margins of the Athens Conference.

    A picture is a thousand words yeah!!!

    The Major thing that catches RasrtarMarn’s eye is the length of extension in the hand shake,,,

    Look at who’s hand is the longest stretched out to reach the other and we can determine which individual is trying to keep away from the other,,,

    Look how Star-Boy appears to be pulling the Serbian Fellow towards him and the Serbian Fellow appears to be trying to pull away.,,,

    What a Joke!!!

    So DNO allyou Prime Minister going to some Bum-4ork place to visit a Leader and allyou not questioning him on his way out to ask him what he going for and when he come back to ask him what he bring for Dominica???

    Or Even better what is it Dominica Producing that Star-Boy going to present to the Serbian Leader to help Dominica have a Market presence in Serbia,,,

    DNO let me help you out! Dominica’s PM Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit and Director of the Citizen by Investment Unit, Emmanuel Nanthan, met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to discuss development of bilateral relations in areas of mutual interest, economic cooperation, and geopolitical and regional affairs.
    Serbia persecuted Kosovo during the Kosovo wars, and is presently against the independence of Kosovo and moves by the EU to allow Kosovo membership to the European Union. Serbia applied to join the EU in 2009 and has been a candidate for membership since 2012. However, after initial popular support for Serbia’s entry, it has held unfavorable domestic approval with support weakening since 2014. International support for their accession is similarly mixed with concerns over Serbia’s claim over Kosovo, regional geopolitical tensions, foreign policy alignment with Russia, and unfavorable domestic policies. So what could go wrong here for Dominica? Passport sale to rogues war…

    Hello DNO, one of the “Cash Cow” (Dubai) is under water no news on that? Are our people safe over there? Worst flooding in Dubai in 75 years isn’t news worthy? Well, we now that Dubai isn’t a “pie in the sky” by no means. But since they are our “people” my thoughts are with them. And by the way, if it continues to rain and the floods won’t recede they could come home to their country. We have many closed and abandoned hotels and resorts where they are welcome to stay – They’ll have to do without running pipe water and electricity.

      This trip is to fatten his pockets with per diems. This excursion will be a drag on the treasury of the country. All this guy will return with is a lot of worthless MOUs.

    Keep it up DNO for you are the best. The best public relation firm for the Roosevelt-led administration.

    What will Dominica and Roosevelt benefit from a fortuitous meeting with the president of Serbia? Nothing more than a photo opportunity. Mutual relationship? This is like a mouse having a relationship with an giraffe.

    Dominica is presently experiencing an exodus of citizens from its shores because of harrowing times they are experiencing in the country. Why don’t your news outlet get out there in the public to get firsthand feedback from the people as to the difficulties they face trying to make ends meet.

    Why don’t you do editorials on possible solutions for the hardship and decadence negatively impacting the country? Here are just a few. You can add a few more:
    *equitable distribution of the resources of the state
    *halt to corruption in public service
    * incentives to help small businesses and stimulate entrepreneurship
    *better safety net system to assist the ultra poor.

      IBO! Why don’t you create your own newsletter, to promote your own content? DNO is not here subject to your editorship or your diction. I have found DNO extremely fair and balanced, although it is an opposition news outlet, under undue pressure from people like you.

      Man, get some rest. Your jealous bum. You wishful thinking that Lennox and Fontaine would have a photo-up with World Leaders, en? Not on this earth, not on the next one. Did you pray to God the last time you attended mass in New York?
