Serbia recognised as leader, key country for preserving stability in region

Belgrade, 5 March 2018

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic assessed today during the talks with Acting Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of Slovakia Ivan Korcok that the establishing of the approximate date of Serbia's accession to the EU is an encouraging and positive decision, which will have a positive effect on the further accession process.

Korcok stressed that Slovakia firmly stands for the enlargement of the European Union to the Western Balkans.

According to him, Serbia has been recognised as a leader and key country for maintaining stability in the region and Slovakia is firmly committed to being a constructive partner to Serbia and support on its road to the European Union.

Also, Korcok emphasised that for Serbia and the European Union, the most important is progress in the field of the rule of law.

Prime Minister Brnabic thanked the Government of the Slovak Republic for its solid position when it comes to preserving the territorial integrity of Serbia and not recognising the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo.

Korcok assessed that there is progress in normalising Belgrade-Pristina relations and expressed his belief that a solution acceptable to both sides will be found.

When it comes to further reforms, Brnabic pointed out that Serbia's strategic goal is strengthening the economy and building a modern state based on European values, as well as creating the most attractive business environment in this part of Europe.

According to her, fiscal consolidation and the creation of long-term macroeconomic stability provide favourable economic climate and additional security for all foreign companies that want to invest in Serbia.

The interlocutors agreed that bilateral relations should be developed, first of all, through economic cooperation in the fields of energy and scientific innovation.
