15 December 2021
The meeting, held via video conference, was dedicated to talks on the prospects for the Western Balkans' accession to the European Union.
On that occasion, Stefanovic said that the enlargement of the European Union represents for the countries of the Western Balkans and for the EU itself a strategic investment in peace, democracy, prosperity, security and stability in the whole of Europe.
The security of the Western Balkans is a common responsibility and obligation of all of us who live in this area. In the past period, Serbia has confirmed its firm determination to, through dialogue, contribute to the strengthening of all types of cooperation with the surrounding countries, said the Deputy Prime Minister.
As he stated, Serbia has harmonized its strategic documents with the EU Global Strategy, which shows a firm determination to strengthen cooperation in the field of defence and security with the European Union, while improving national security and defence.
Also, Serbia engages its military and civilian capacities in the missions and operations of the United Nations and the European Union, which confirms that it is a reliable partner in international relations and, at the same time, strengthens the interoperability of its army, Stefanovic explained.
He said that by signing the Administrative Arrangement with the European Defence Agency, we have further intensified cooperation with EU countries in the field of defence.
