The Government of the Republic of Serbia

In the service of citizens

Cooperation, linking to lead to better life of citizens

Belgrade/Sofia, 18 May 2018

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic participated today at the Vienna Economic Forum in Sofia, held within the framework of the Western Balkans Summit, where the prime ministers of the countries of the region and representatives of economic institutions discussed regional cooperation and economic issues.

Brnabic pointed out that if we want an environment that is stimulating for the development of the economy and good for all the citizens of the region, then business should be in the first place, followed by politics and politicians.

She said that the reforms should focus on the citizens and that they should always be in the first place, and underlined that stability and regional cooperation are crucial for the future of the Western Balkans.

The Prime Minister pointed out that Serbia is committed to further economic integration of the region, emphasising the importance of the Berlin Process and the adoption of the Action Plan for the Regional Economic Area last year at the Trieste Summit.

The Prime Minister especially emphasiсed the importance of forming the Permanent Secretariat of the Chamber Investment Forum, also at the Trieste Summit, whose goals are better linking, creating better business conditions and strengthening the competitiveness of the economy.

The modern world is characterised by constant and dynamic changes. It is up to us to meet those changes, to strengthen the competitiveness of the market and create a better future for all citizens, she said, pointing out that digital transformation and digital revolution are a development opportunity for the Western Balkans.

Better connectivity and cooperation in the region will also contribute to the mobility of citizens, and governments will allow citizens to travel, study or work without additional bureaucratic burden, the Prime Minister explained.

Regional cooperation and European integration are priorities of the government of Serbia, Brnabic said and added that Serbia will always be a reliable friend for all of our partners in the region.

The Prime Minister concluded that only by better cooperation and linking can the region progress in the best interests of all citizens.
