The two leaders met in the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York, the Serbian Presidency's media service revealed, Rel conveys.
According to the communiqué released on Tuesday, Vucic said the Serbian and Greek people link a genuine friendship and that it is necessary to work for strengthening economic co-operation.
Vuciq said he thanks Greece for the support it gives dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina for normalising relations.
The communique reportedly reported that Vuciq also reported on to the Greek prime minister, as it put it, the problems that have emerged following the Kosovo authorities' decision to tax products imported from Serbia.
Mitsotakis, on the other hand, said Greece supports the dialogue, but considers unilateral “actions do not contribute to”.
Mitsotakis also said Greece does not change position when recognition of Kosovo is in question.
Greece, along with Spain, Slovakia, Cyprus and Romania, are the five European Union countries that do not yet recognise Kosovo's independence, declared in February 2008.
Weeks ago, Czech President Milos Zaman has said he will discuss with constitutional officials the possibility that his country will withdraw recognition of Kosovo as an independent state.
Serbia, now and as long, is said to have engaged in a campaign to convince the states that have recognised Kosovo to step back from such a step.
