On February 8th  Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Serbian leader Tomislav Nikolic were joined by their delegations for an expanded meeting following their one-on-one talk.
President Ilham Aliyev said:
“Dear Mr. President,
Dear guests,
I wholeheartedly welcome all of you to Azerbaijan.
It is your first visit to Azerbaijan and I`m confident that it will have very good results. We have already had a broad exchange of views, and we see that there are beautiful opportunities for joint cooperation.
I`m confident that your visit will strengthen our political relations. This will certainly give a strong impetus to development of our economic relations. We have excellent experience for joint work on the economic front. I believe that concrete decisions on new projects will be made during the visit. There are wonderful prospects for the cooperation particularly in the fields of energy, transport and investment making. I`m confident that your visit will be of great importance for development of Serbia-Azerbaijan relations, and you will return to your country with good impressions.”

President Tomislav Nikolic said:
”Mr. President, I think that there is no need to make additional comments on friendly attitude of Serbia towards Azerbaijan. This friendship remains unchanged irrespective of who runs Serbia. Azerbaijan has become a very reliable partner for Serbia in the Eastern part of the world. Citizens live in a free society in the country under your wise leadership.
I think that both parties are benefiting from this friendship, and it`s already high time we transformed this friendship into concrete economic cooperation. And we want you to help us expand the scope of the work we have done so far. I think that direct investments between our countries can turn into long-term investments.”
