¨Before leaving, we met and talked with friends of the solidarity movement with Cuba and fellow citizens residing in Serbia,” the Cuban leader live-tweeted.

Diaz-Canel considered the meeting as “gratifying, of renewed commitment in defense of the Cuban Revolution. We are so grateful for your support to the struggle for the end of the genocidal U.S. blockade.”

Earlier, the Cuban president laid a wreath at the Monument to the Unknown Hero to pay tribute to the Serbian martyrs.

Previously, Diaz-Canel met with the President of the Serbian National Assembly Vladimir Orlic, and stated “We shared the interest in strengthening inter-parliamentary relations with Serbia as well as the willingness to continue strengthening collaboration and friendship relations.”
