MOSCOW, October 5 (RIA Novosti) - Belgrade anticipates financial aid from Moscow, Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said in an interview with a Russian daily ahead of his Moscow visit.

Jeremic arrives in Moscow on Monday to hold preparations for Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Belgrade on October 20.

In an interview with Kommersant newspaper, Jeremic said Serbia "anticipates a positive answer" from Moscow on its request for financial aid.

The amount of financial aid was not noted in the interview.

According to Jeremic, Belgrade hopes that during Medvedev's visit to the country, implementation of financial aid will also be discussed to include investments into Serbia's infrastructure.

"We expect that after Medvedev's visit, bilateral cooperation in the economy will get a new phase covering all spheres," the minister said.

Medvedev will arrive in Serbia to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Belgrade's liberation from Nazi invaders. Jeremic called the Russian leader's visit a "historical event" because it commemorates "overall victory" between the two countries and should "be celebrated together."
