Selaković talked with the new head of the EU Delegation to Serbia

Selaković congratulated his interlocutor and wished him a successful mandate, adding that he expected the continuation of good cooperation between Serbian institutions and the EU Delegation.

The Minister pointed out that EU membership is an absolute foreign policy priority and strategic commitment of our country, and that Serbia remains fully committed to the reform process.

He underlined that Serbia is open for the continuation of full cooperation with the EU, its institutions and member states, as well as for intensive work in order to progress and speed up the negotiation process.

Selaković emphasized that Serbia is fully committed to regional cooperation, preserving stability and security, and diplomatic resolution of open issues.

Speaking about the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, the Minister pointed out that dialogue and compromise are key to reaching a sustainable agreement, but also reminded that Pristina persistently does not fulfill its obligations from the Brussels Agreement and does not enable the establishment of the Association of Serbian Municipalities.

Selaković pointed out that it is necessary for Pristina to start implementing all the agreements reached, and said that we expect the European Union, as the guarantor of the Brussels Agreement, to firmly insist on that.

The EU has been Serbia's most important foreign trade partner for more than two decades, the minister said, adding that the assistance Serbia receives from the EU is key to our reform process.

Also, the minister pointed out that Serbia, in the conditions of a pandemic, achieved economic and financial stability through a responsible policy, as well as that statistical parameters show that the pandemic left less economic consequences on Serbia compared to most other European countries.
