Opening of cluster 4 big step forward, recognition for Serbia

Nis, 7 December 2021

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated in Nis today that the decision of EU Member States to approve the opening of cluster 4 – Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity - in Serbia’s accession negotiations with the EU is a big step forward and expressed her hope that this decision will become official at the Intergovernmental conference with the EU next week.

This is a big and important thing, a good result and a recognition for everything we have done, especially in the field of the rule of law, said Brnabic in Nis, where she took part in the event “Dialogue with the Youth”, organised by the National Youth Council of Serbia.

The Prime Minister added that Serbia hoped to open two clusters, cluster 3 too, but pointed out that opening one cluster, according to the old methodology, means opening four chapters.

Cluster 4 is the most important and the most topical at the moment as it deals with the Green Agenda and environmental protection, the Prime Minister stated.

She added that the Ministry of Finance is currently making changes to the Law on Expropriation to have them ready for government’s session on Thursday and reiterated that this law has nothing to do with the project of Rio Tinto or any other individual project.

It is important to talk with the National Convention on the European Union and all others who had comments or objections to this law and try to change it in line with the instructions given by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, the Prime Minister underlined.
