Last year, Serbia was reported to be moving its embassy to Israel in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem following a normalization deal brokered by the United States (US).

The agreement was made within two days of meeting US President Donald Trump, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti.

The agreement includes mutual recognition between Israel and Serbia and cooperation in the economic field, which includes efforts to attract investment to job creation. (T/RE1)
