Summary/Abstract: Belgrade hasn’t had much opportunity to host notable heads of state over the past two decades. Ex-Yugoslavia’s disintegration and Serbia’s role in the process – as constants at the international agenda – have only logically brought to Belgrade high officials of many countries, organization and institutions, but high-level visits were truly rare events. No doubt that the visit by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is significant in this context. This is testified by the interest of media people in the Serb-Russian summit: some 600 reporters covered the meeting between Tadic and Medvedev. This was the fist Serb-Russian summit meeting since Serbia’s independence in 2007. As for President Medvedev, this was the first time he was given a chance to address a parliament of another country in his capacity as the head of the Russian Federation.
