Babakov, noting that Serbian trade with Russia reached the 4 billion Euros mark, claimed that there are now "prospects for economic cooperation, in banking and investment", and that opportunities exist in both the energy and agriculture sectors.

"The duty-free trade between our two countries should be maintained and expanded. Involvement of Russian investment and the creation of a favourable climate for Russian companies in Serbia should be the main concerns of our cooperation."

Babakov stated that the election of Tomislav Nikolic, as the new President of Serbia is a positive thing for improved relations. Babakov believes that "window of opportunity in the "Belgrade-Moscow" alliance has now increased" and he is sure "that President Nikolic will not waste time to implement them".
