At the sixth plenary session of the National Convention on the EU, Brnabic estimated that these investments show that Serbia is perceived as a stable business environment and that they are a confirmation of the fact that the greatest results have been achieved in economic reforms.
This year will be a year of enormous challenges for the EU, such as the issue of Brexit and the holding of elections, the Prime Minister said, adding that this would probably mean less interest in enlargement, but Serbia must nevertheless continue to insist on reforms and their implementation.
She pointed out that the most important political issue of Serbia is the relationship with Pristina, which, as she said, must be solved for our own sake, and not because someone conditions us to do so.
Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Sem Fabrizi stressed that the community will have as a priority the accession of new members.
I am encouraging Serbia to remain ambitious and dedicated to the European integration, and the EU will do its part, Fabrizi said.
He assessed that the Balkans is moving towards the EU, adding that he expects this job to continue this year, but also noted that accession to the Union does not happen "overnight", but the energy of the entire society is needed.
Minister for European Integration Jadranka Joksimovic pointed out that the latest public opinion survey in December shows stable EU support.
Most citizens show a mature, rational approach to the EU and the accession process, Joksimovic assessed.
