Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met today with the Governor of the Council of Europe Development Bank Rolf Wenzel, and on that occasion bestowed upon him a decoration in recognition of improving Serbia's cooperation with that institution. Wenzel was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit.

Wenzel thanked for the awarded decoration which, as he said, he saw also as an obligation to continue good cooperation with Serbia.

"It is a great honor for me to receive this medal, thank you for your trust", he said.

President Vucic said that he was grateful that Wenzel was here today, adding that it was easy to make a decision on the decoration, because he had done a lot for Serbia.

The Council of Europe Development Bank contributed to and participated in almost everything we did in various spheres of society, the President pointed out.

"This is another obligation for you, but for us as well. For us to show even greater respect for your great work, and for you to invest even more in the period ahead in the progress of Serbia and support our citizens", Vucic said.
