The UAE and Serbia have started negotiations on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement paving the way for increased trade, investment and cooperation in the private sector. The talks were held in Dubai and marked the first step in establishing a partnership between the two countries.

The UAE is currently the third largest market for Serbian exports in the Middle East. The country has attracted foreign direct investment in priority sectors such as agriculture, food security, real estate, infrastructure and logistics.''The foundations for the talks were laid following UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's visit to Belgrade in June this year, during which he met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. At that time, several agreements were signed to expand cooperation in the fields of renewable energy, agriculture, food security, technology and artificial intelligence.
