During the forthcoming visit of Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic
in Baku, a visit which the Azerbaijani side considers as a "very
important" one, an agreement is to be signed on "Friendship and
Strategic Partnership," the Azerbaijani Ambassador to Serbia Eldar
Hasanov told Moderator.az. The ambassador also said that in honor to
the Serbian-Azerbaijani friendship a monument to the famous Serbian
inventor Nikola Tesla will be installed in Baku.
As the Faktxeber.com reports, Azerbaijan also gave Serbia a loan of
308 million Euros, for a period of 25 years at 4% per annum for the
construction of a road. The site also reminds that in 2011, in one of
the parks in Belgrade a monument that was of three meters height was
installed to the former Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev. At the
opening ceremony of the monument was present also the current President
Ilham Aliyev. Reconstruction of the park cost the Azerbaijani budget 2
million dollars. During the visit of Serbian President solemn opening
ceremony of a park will be held where Nikola Tesla's monument is to
be installed.
The head of the research center "Atlas" Elkhan Shahinoglu considers
multimillion investments of Azerbaijan in Serbian economy in return for
political support, inappropriate. According to him, Azerbaijan invests
in the economy of countries which agree to install a monument to
Heydar Aliyev. "This kind of exchange of monuments can cause problems
in Serbia as well, just like it happened in Mexico where around $
5 million was spent over the reconstruction of the park, but still,
monument to Heydar Aliyev was removed. Who will return us the money,
no one knows," the expert said.
