TEHRAN, Feb. 26 (MNA) – In a Tuesday meeting between Iran's Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Masoud Soltanifar and Serbian Ambassador to Tehran Dragan Todorovic in the Iranian capital, the two sides conferred on expansion of sports relations between the two countries.

In this meeting, Todorovic underscored the significance of boosting sports relations with Iran, informing that the two countries have eight common MOUs in various fields including sports, which are to be signed during Serbian President's trip to Iran in near future.
