Addressing the foreign ministers of the participants in the "Berlin Process", Selakovic said at the video conference that it is a natural continuation of Serbia's continuous commitment to strengthening mutual ties in a number of areas, especially through regional initiatives and processes.
According to him, it is essential that the focus of the meeting is on two topics: the issue of youth, especially youth cooperation in the Western Balkans, and the role of civil society in the region.
The Minister stated that the modern phenomenon of migration of young people is not a challenge faced only by Serbia, but also by the entire region, but also by many other European countries, including some of the members of the European Union.
He reminded that the government of Serbia, in order to effectively deal with the phenomenon of economic migration, in March 2020 adopted the "Economic Migration Strategy for the period 2021-2027", and its first three-year Action Plan specifically refers to young people and provides for very concrete measures.
Referring to the issue of the role of civil society in the region, which was the second topic of today's meeting, the Minister pointed out that the government of Serbia is ready to cooperate with the civil sector at any time.
As he concluded, Serbia is continuously and firmly determined to actively work on improving regional cooperation.
"Because of ourselves, future generations and common prosperity, it is necessary to take such steps and give a full chance to regional cooperation, stability in the region and further progress of everyone from the Western Balkans towards full and deserved EU membership," Selakovic said.
