Kuwait offers cooperation in battle against anti-terrorism

BELGRADE - Kuwait's newly appointed Ambassador to Serbia Yousef Ahmed Abdulsamad invited on Thursday Serbia's Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic to visit the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry and sign an agreement on cooperation against terrorism and organised and cyber crime.

The agreement would open up new possibilities for cooperation between the two countries' ministries, according to a statement from the Serbian Interior Ministry.

"Serbia wants to improve its EU integration and be a good and reliable partner in the battle against terrorism, which poses a great threat to the whole world today," Stefanovic said.

Abdulsamad, who discussed improvements to cooperation between the two interior ministries with Stefanovic on Thursday, commended the decision to allow visa-free stay in Serbia of up to 90 days for foreign citizens who have a valid Schengen, UK or US visa.

This decision will encourage more Kuwaiti citizens to come to Serbia, thereby improving the economic and cultural cooperation between the two nations, the two officials agreed.

Stefanovic thanked Kuwait for its assistance during the May 2014 floods in Serbia, adding that it confirmed a long-standing friendship between the two countries.
