The Italian Embassy in Belgrade organised Friday reception on the occasion of the Day of the Republic of Italy, and the ceremony was attended by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Maja Gojković, the Prime Ministers of the Government and the Serbian Armed Forces, religious communities and diplomatic corps.
Italian Ambassador to Serbia H. E. Carlo Lo Cascio expressed his satisfaction that the first time in Belgrade was celebrating the national holiday, stressing that, often since he returned to Serbia as a diplomat, he wondered what had changed in our country. He stressed that Italy was among the first to talk about the European perspective of Serbia and welcomed the fact that our country started the negotiation process with the EU.
