Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today during the talks with Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament (EP) and Rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister that Serbia highly appreciates the support that the European Parliament provides to Serbia in the process of European integration.
Brnabic pointed out that Serbia has been recognised in the previous period as an equal and reliable partner of the European Union, as confirmed at the recently held Western Balkans Summit in Sofia.
McAllister praised the efforts made by the Serbian government on its path to full membership in the European Union and pointed to the importance of continuing reforms, first of all, with regard to chapters 23 and 24 that deal with the rule of law and judicial reform.
Regarding reforms in the field of rule of law and judicial reform, the Prime Minister said that Serbia will act in accordance with the assessments and recommendations of the Venice Commission, stressing that this is the most important task of the state in the upcoming period.
Brnabic explained that intensive talks between representatives of the Government and all relevant journalist and media associations are under way in order to speed up the adoption of the Media Strategy as soon as possible and jointly came up with the best solutions that secure the rights and freedoms of the media in Serbia.
