Erdogan described the current state of relations between Serbia and Turkey as a “golden age,” citing the significant growth in economic ties.
“We see great potential for further collaboration, particularly in defence and aerospace,” Erdogan added.

Vucic, in turn, hailed Turkey as “the greatest power in the Balkans,” stressing Serbia’s expectation of continued Turkish support for peace and stability in the region.
Saying that some parts of Serbia survive thanks to Turkish investments, Vucic said Serbia values its friendly relations with Turkey, calling them important for political and economic ties on the scale of both Eurasia and the entire globe.
“There is a huge potential for cooperation in the field of defence cooperation,” he added.
