Belgium strongly supports Serbia on path to EU
Belgrade,
27 June 2017
Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic voiced hope today that the European Union will keep the door open for the countries of the Western Balkans, as it is useful for alleviating instability and tensions in this part of Europe.
Speaking at a press conference after meeting with Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, Dacic underlined that the future government, which will be formed by the end of the week, will retain political goals such as building a modern society, European integration, regional peace and stability, as well as reforms in society.
He emphasised that our country wants to be an exporter of regional peace and stability, but also of European values that we want to be applied in our country for the sake of prosperity of the citizens and the future of Serbia and the entire region.
Dacic assessed that the bilateral relations between Serbia and Belgium are good, but that they could be better, and recalled that Belgium is one of the countries with which we have long diplomatic relations, and that 130 years of these relations were marked last year.
He told the Belgian Foreign Minister that the Serbian government will be formed very quickly, and that the political goals remain the same, and that there is plenty of room for cooperation between the two countries.
Dacic pointed out that trade exchange reached a record level last year of €560 million, which is an increase of 20% compared to 2015.
