Support of France to European integration of Serbia

Belgrade, 22 May 2018

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today during the talks with a delegation of the European Affairs Committee of the Senate of the French Republic that Serbia is very committed to reform of the state in order to become an equal partner, and not only one of the members of the European Union.

Brnabic pointed out that Serbia understands and supports the aspiration of France and other countries of the European Union towards internal strengthening and reforms within the Union itself, bearing in mind that this is important not only for its members, but also for Serbia and other Western Balkan countries on the accession road.

Membership in the European Union, which is primarily a community of values and rights, represents the sharing of values and principles, including respect for the rule of law and the fight against corruption.

Chairman of the European Affairs Committee of the French Senate Jean Bizet confirmed that Serbia and the region of the Western Balkans have a clear European perspective, which was once again confirmed at last week's Summit of the leaders of the Western Balkans and the European Union in Sofia.

Bizet emphasised that it is necessary for Belgrade and Pristina to continue their dialogue in order to reach a mutually acceptable solution, with a stronger EU support.

Brnabic reiterated Serbia's readiness for dialogue and finding a compromise solution that will ensure stability and normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.

The Prime Minister pointed out that Serbia has implemented numerous agreements reached during the dialogue in previous years, but that it is necessary that the other party also starts to implement the agreements made, first of all, the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities.

Bizet underlined that France will continue to support Serbia on its European path.

He described the talks with officials in Serbia as extremely positive, and underlined that he is impressed by the vision that the Prime Minister and the leaders of Serbia have for their country.

Brnabic said she expects French President Emmanuel Macron to visit Serbia by the end of this year, which would be an exceptional opportunity to strengthen the friendship of the two countries.
