Serbian Minister in Tehran for Khamenei's Farewell Ceremony

The Minister of Information and Telecommunications of Serbia, Boris Bratina, in the capacity of the envoy of the Government of Serbia, participated in the farewell ceremony of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to the announcement published on the minister's official Instagram account.

The announcement states that Minister Bratina signed the book of condolences and, on behalf of the Government and people of Serbia, expressed condolences to the people of Iran.

The website of the Iranian Ministry of Technology, Innovation and International Affairs states that Bratina arrived in Tehran on July 3 and was met at the airport by Deputy Minister Mohammad Hafez Hakami.

In Iran, on July 4, the multi-day funeral ceremony for the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the American-Israeli war against Iran, on February 28, began.

The opposition Freedom and Justice Party asked whether Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic had notified the US administration that he was sending a minister to Tehran.

"After this, it is clear that there will be nothing to come of the coordination and harmonization of foreign policy with the European Union, despite the fact that this is one of the key conditions for the 'melting' of the European integration process," the reaction states.

Official Belgrade has maintained friendly relations with Iran in recent years, despite the country being under international sanctions due to its nuclear activities and human rights violations./ REL
