Serbian Finance Minister Siniša Mali and Swiss Ambassador Urs Schmidt signed on Tuesday a protocol between the Governments of Serbia and Switzerland on amending the bilateral agreement on avoiding double taxation of income and property.

That agreement has a legal effect on bilateral economic relations between Serbia and Switzerland, the Ministry of Finance announced.
