Joksimovic, who is attending the 1st Annual Forum of the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian region (EUSAIR) in Dubrovnik, said in a statement to the news agency Tanjug that our country is very active in this area.

We want to use all the money that is available for specific projects that are regional in character and are good for Serbia, but also for the whole region, she stated.

According to her, the Adriatic-Ionian Initiative is a very important EU strategy for the Western Balkans because it creates additional space for Serbia to cooperate with the countries in the region and is working on connecting and networking.

Joksimovic had an informal meeting today in Dubrovnik with Croatian Foreign Minister Miro Kovac, with whom she exchanged arguments after Croatia has blocked the opening of Chapter 23 in Serbia’s negotiations with the European Union.

She said that Serbia does not shun talks, that it is very constructive in that matter, and our position is clear as we have fulfilled all the criteria necessary for the negotiations.
