Serbia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Switzerland's Federal Department of Foreign Affairs held bilateral political consultations in Belgrade. The Serbian delegation was led by Ambassador Tamara Rastovac Siamashvili, Acting Assistant Minister for Bilateral Cooperation, and the Swiss delegation by Ambassador Pierre-Yves Fux, Head of the Eurasia Division. The year marks the 110th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The two sides noted the Swiss-Serbian Innovation Programme for 2026-2030, signed in Belgrade during the Swiss President's visit, and discussed Switzerland's participation in the Specialised Expo 2027 in Belgrade. Switzerland currently chairs the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
