On the very last day of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 in Serbia, the Embassy of Cyprus hosted yesterday a lunch for the EU Ambassadors with H.E. the President of the Republic of Serbia Mr. Aleksandar Vučić as the Guest of Honour.

The lunch provided a valuable opportunity for an open exchange on Serbia’s European path, regional developments and the importance of continued dialogue and partnership.

We sincerely thank President Vučić for honouring us with his presence, the EU Heads of Mission for their close cooperation throughout the past six months, and all our Serbian partners who contributed to a successful Cypriot Presidency.

As Cyprus hands over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union to Ireland, we remain committed to supporting Serbia’s European perspective.
