Nikolić: Serbia profoundly grateful to Slovenia

After visiting the town most affected by the recent floods, Nikolić thanked the people of Slovenia, stressing that the citizens and the government of Serbia feel profound gratitude for the help they provided.

The Slovenian president's visit to Serbia was arranged earlier and it additionally demonstrates the strong ties between the two countries, said Nikolić and stressed that "everything must be done in order to strengthen these ties even further."
