Serbia on good path owing to strategic choices

Belgrade, 11 January 2018

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that the key foreign policy priorities of Serbia are the struggle for the preservation of territorial integrity and sovereignty, the continuation of the EU negotiation process, and the further development of good neighbourly relations.

In a speech to students of the Diplomatic Academy themed "Serbia's foreign policy priorities", Dacic said that Serbia is on the right track, thanks to its foreign policy and strategic choices made in recent years.

He said that Serbia’s strategic choices are the reform path and membership in the European Union, improving relations with the creators of the world politics which are Russia, China and the United States, the development of relations with friendly countries of Africa, Asia and South America, and the key and most important priority of our foreign policy is the preservation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the state, with Kosovo-Metohija as an integral part of Serbia.

Although we believe that the road to the EU can be faster, we support the "regatta principle," according to which the progress of each country individually is assessed, and not of all the countries of the region in "package", he underlined.

Dacic also stressed that developed and successful regional cooperation, through numerous regional initiatives, also contributes to EU membership, and in this sense highlighted the significance of the Berlin Process.
