BELGRADE - Serbian PM Milos Vucevic received Interpol President Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi on Friday to discuss Serbia's cooperation with Interpol and opening a regional Interpol bureau in Belgrade.

Vucevic thanked Al-Raisi for backing an initiative to open the bureau in the Serbian capital and said the two sides would work together on expediting the necessary procedures as setting up the bureau was key for security in the region, the Serbian government said in a statement.
