Zelenskyy, in turn, stated that he discussed "security issues and bilateral relations development" with Serbia's president, and thanked him for attending the first Global Peace Summit.
Zelenskyy and Vučić previously met in February of this year during the Ukraine Southeast Europe Summit in Albania.
The fact that Belgrade is Russia's traditional ally in the Balkans contributes to Ukraine-Serbia tensions.
Serbia refuses to accept EU sanctions against Moscow, but, according to unofficial reports, sells arms to Ukraine through intermediaries.
