Serbia's State Prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac and Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yury Chaika signed in Moscow Thursday an agreement on cooperation between the two prosecutor's offices, Serbian State Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Tomo Zoric told Tanjug.

The cooperation agreement envisages intensive cooperation between Serbia and Russia in the fight against organized crime, corruption, terrorism, extremism, arms and drug trafficking, criminal acts in the area of high-tech crime, and other socially dangerous criminal acts.

It also envisages that each side names one or several contact persons responsible for maintaining direct connection, which will enable a speedy exchange of evidence and information, with the aim of efficient fight against organized crime and corruption.

According to the Belgrade media, Dolovac and Chaika should also discuss the proceedings instituted in Serbia against the widow and son of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, Mirjana Markovic and Marko Milosevic, who were given a refugee status in Russia, and therefore could not have been extradited to Serbia.

Mirjana Markovic and Marko Milosevic are charged with heading the so-called 'tobacco mafia', and they are tried in absentia by the Special Court for Organized Crime. Dolovac is paying a two-day visit to Moscow, where she will be received by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday.

The Russian prosecution is today marking 290 years since its establishment, and the ceremony will be attended by delegations from 35 countries, including Serbia and Montenegro.
