Ready for a new golden age? No, this isn’t a fairy tale — it’s the real deal in Serbia-Egypt relations! Ambassador Miroslav Šešatović in Cairo isn’t holding back, calling the current bilateral ties a ‘new golden age’ — a rare gem in today’s world full of conflicts.
Golden Age or Just Another Buzzword?
In just three years, there have been two presidential visits — Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi spent three days in Belgrade, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić returned the visit last year. But wait, there’s more! They’ve signed 30 bilateral agreements, including a free trade deal. Is this the dawn of a new era or just diplomatic theater? The ambassador boldly compares it to the golden times of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Josip Broz Tito.
Kairo-Belgrade Flights Making a Comeback?
Imagine hopping on a direct flight from Belgrade to Cairo soon! The ambassador revealed that efforts are underway to revive the previously suspended air route, aiming for completion by the end of this year or early next year. This could turbocharge business and tourism between the two nations.
Egypt is Changing, Serbia is Watching
Egypt, home to over 100 million people, is pouring massive investments into infrastructure, including building seven new cities. The grand opening of the Great Egyptian Museum near the Giza pyramids was delayed due to regional conflicts but is now slated for the last quarter of this year. The museum will showcase 10 new exhibits, with Tutankhamun’s treasures moving from the old museum.
Safety and Stability in Egypt
Despite regional instability, the ambassador assures that Egypt’s security situation is stable, backed by a strong security apparatus. Tourists can safely plan their vacations — no embassy warnings here.
What’s in it for Us?
Serbia-Egypt relations are heating up, promising fresh opportunities in trade, tourism, and cultural exchange. But will it all stay on paper, or will we actually see the benefits? Time will tell.
