A:
Sweden's unequivocal support for Serbia's European integration
Belgrade,
24 August 2021
The Prime Minister pointed out that European integration is a strategic goal and a key priority, and that Serbia greatly appreciates the support of the Swedish government in that process.
The reforms that Serbia is implementing in the field of rule of law, judiciary and state administration speak in favour of the government's commitment to essential changes, she explained and stated that the reforms are not exclusively for Serbia's membership in the European Union, but are also a precondition for a better life for our citizens.
The focus of the reforms is, above all, on the judicial system, which has the widest impact on our society, but also on the economic stability of the state, because, as she explained, it has a direct impact on creating a favourable investment climate.
Norlen said that Sweden remains committed to the enlargement of the European Union to the Western Balkans and support to Serbia in the areas of reform of the rule of law and justice, but also the fight against corruption and freedom of the media.
When it comes to media freedom, Brnabic emphasised that the important task of the state is the safety and protection of journalists, and that the positive effects of the activities of the Working Group dealing with this issue are visible, which results in a decreasing trend of reported cases of endangering journalists' safety.
Norlen noted that Sweden's support for Serbia's integration will continue to be unequivocal, pointing to the fact that our countries are also connected by a large Serbian diaspora, very well integrated into Swedish society.
