I am humbled and deeply appreciative that H. E. The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Ivica Dačić, has discerned the importance of this occasion and taken the time to add his presence to declare our 1st South East Europe Regional Consular Conference officially open.
The Consular Corps of Helsinki, Finland, is getting regularly together for luncheon meetings and the participation is usually very good, because we have had the pleasure on these occasions to introduce high level speakers to give presentations on topical items in the political, economic and cultural fields.
