Prime Minister Ana Brnabic welcomed today during the talks with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini the fact that the European Commission's Progress Report recognises Serbia's efforts in the implementation of political and economic reforms and its commitment to regional cooperation.
The Prime Minister stressed that, despite the fact that the report is predominantly positive, there is still a lot of effort and work to be made, especially in the domain of the rule of law and freedom of the media.
She stressed that Serbia will proceed with further reforms in line with the assessments and recommendations presented in the report.
Brnabic and Mogherini agreed that the preservation of peace and stability in the region is of crucial importance and, in that regard, highlighted the importance of continuing dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.
According to Mogherini, Bulgaria’s chairmanship of the EU Council is of great importance for Serbia and the region, since this member of the EU understands the current situation and developments in the Western Balkans region.
Mogherini also stressed that the commitment to political and economic cooperation among the countries of the region is crucial for faster progress in the process of joining the European Union.
She said that, in addition to political and institutional cooperation, the cooperation of the non-governmental sector and businessmen, with the support of the state, is a very important form of cooperation in the region.
The need of raising the level of awareness of citizens of Serbia and the region about the importance of joining the European Union has been highlighted, which will ensure peace and stability of the region and raise the standard of living of all citizens in this region.
Prime Minister Brnabic once again welcomed the European Commission's recommendation to open accession talks with Macedonia and Albania.
