Serbia’s strategic goal membership in EU
Belgrade/Brussels,
10 October 2017
Prime Minister Ana Brnabic today conveyed to the members of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee (AFET) in Brussels the message of Serbia’s determination to move towards its strategic goal - joining the European Union.
On that occasion, Brnabic said that our country wants to become an equal member that will support the Union, and not seek the benefits of the membership.
She said that Serbia is deeply committed to cooperation and stability in the region and the Berlin Process, while the strategic goal remains to be the EU membership.
Brnabic expressed her hope that on 14 October, after the end of negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), she will be able to announce the exact percentage of pension increase, as well as of salaries for public sector employees.
Answering the questions of the members of the AFET, Brnabic pointed out that Pristina has not even started working on the establishment of the Community of Serbian Municipalities in Kosovo-Metohija, which is the foundation of the Brussels Agreement.
Speaking about the relationship between Serbia and the Russian Federation, the Prime Minister pointed out that we have traditionally good cultural and religious relations, as well as a free trade agreement with Russia, on which we are dependant for gas imports.
Such a relationship with Russia in no way disturbs our integration into the EU or our strategic focus, Brnabic concluded.
