Germany very important political, economic partner of Serbia

Belgrade, 30 July 2021

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selaković talked today with State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Miguel Berger about political and economic cooperation between the two countries, European integration and cooperation in the Western Balkans.

Selakovic assessed the bilateral relations as very good, emphasising that the personal and friendly relations between President Vucic and Chancellor Merkel contribute to them to a great extent.

He expressed special satisfaction with the fact that we are expecting Chancellor Merkel's visit to Serbia soon, and added that in that sense we are concentrated on the preparation of concluding several interstate agreements, especially in the field of culture, education and science.

The Minister emphasised that Germany is one of our most important economic partners, and in that context pointed out the importance of cooperation in the field of dual education, noting that one of the important interests of Serbia is to increase investments in infrastructure projects.

The head of Serbian diplomacy reiterated that EU membership is a strategic goal of our country and conveyed gratitude to Germany, as one of our most important political partners, for the support it provides to the policy of expanding and improving the political dialogue between Serbia and the region with the EU.

Discussing regional initiatives, Selakovic referred to the importance of the "Berlin Process", estimating that the forum significantly contributed to the acceleration of certain processes and the creation of necessary conditions for closer connections in our region.

He expressed his condolences to Germany for the victims of the incredible floods that recently hit the country, and said that Serbia is ready to provide assistance in eliminating their consequences.
