Rule of law important in European integration process

Belgrade, 12 June 2018

Minister for European Integration Jadranka Joksimovic pointed out today that Serbia’s reforms in the field of rule of law will not stop even after chapters 23 and 24 are closed at the end of the process of European integration, given that this area is of crucial importance for the life of citizens.

Speaking at a conference which looked at the results achieved over the past two years within the Horizontal Facility programme for the Western Balkans and Turkey, Joksimovic emphasised that the Serbian government pledged to citizens that justice would be more accessible, that the state would be more just, that the money from the budget will be spent more transparently and that the state will fight corruption and organised crime.

She pointed out that Serbia, as a EU candidate country, follows with great interest developments in the EU and how the EU defends the rule of law, because the essence of the rule of law is that the same standards and the same criteria are always applied.

Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Serbia Sem Fabrizi said that in the process of EU accession, the domain of the rule of law is very important for Serbia, and that the Union supports Serbia in the implementation of reforms in this important area.

Fabrizi said that participants in today’s conference also discussed a programme financed by the EU with €20 million, which deals with specificities in the field of the rule of law, such as fair trials, promotion and protection of human rights, and the fight against corruption and discrimination.
