BELGRADE, Serbia (AA) – The national postal services of Turkey and Serbia inked a strategic partnership agreement on Monday.

The deal covering areas of e-commerce and money transfers was signed by Hakan Gulten, general director of PTT Turkish Post, and Zoran Djordjevic, acting director of Posta Serbia, in Serbia’s capital Belgrade.
