The Minister assessed very positively the cooperation to date with the United Nations team, led by Jacob, especially through the provision of support and assistance in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which, among other things, contributed to increasing the visibility of Serbia in the UN, as well as the UN in Serbia.
