EU membership absolute foreign policy priority
Belgrade,
22 January 2018
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic attended today, as the main speaker, a lunch with ambassadors of EU member states, hosted by Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Sem Fabrizi.
On this occasion, Dacic pointed to the tragic event that marked the previous week and stressed that the murder of Oliver Ivanovic represents a threat to the stability of the region and the continuation of dialogue on the normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.
He stressed that Pristina authorities and international institutions that are present in Kosovo-Metohija are expected to find and prosecute the responsible ones as soon as possible.
The First Deputy Prime Minister reiterated that our side is committed to dialogue, however, it will continue talks once it gets specific information about the crime that took place.

Sem Fabrizi and Ivica Dacic
Dacic underlined that full EU membership remains an absolute foreign policy priority for Serbia and, in that sense, the announced EU Enlargement Strategy should provide a concretisation of the positive and encouraging messages of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
He expressed his belief that announcement of 2025 as the year of the possible next enlargement, will have a very positive effect on the support of citizens of Serbia to EU membership and at the same time it will show that European countries consider Serbia a future equal part of the Union.
The First Deputy Prime Minister especially welcomed the decision of the Bulgarian Chairmanship of the EU Council to organise an EU-Western Balkans Summit in May 2018, which clearly indicates that the Balkans is again in focus.
