Strengthening cooperation between Serbia, EU in field of security

Belgrade, 9 March 2022

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Nebojsa Stefanovic talked today with the Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret about issues in the field of regional security, international relations and cooperation in the field of EU Common Security and Defence Policy.

On that occasion, Stefanovic said that regional cooperation, as a precondition for European integration, is one of Serbia's foreign policy priorities.

"Our country is a responsible and credible partner, which, in accordance with its clear political commitment, will remain a military neutral state, at the same time open to cooperation and ready to build partnerships with all countries and international organisations," he said.

The Ministry of Defence is constantly working on the improvement and further qualitative development of international relations in the field of defence, in accordance with national interests and foreign policy priorities, he said.

Giaufret pointed out the importance of stability in the region and, in accordance with that, provided support to the European integration of Serbia and all the countries of the Western Balkans.

The head of the EU Delegation assessed that there is room for further improvement of cooperation and stronger development of relations between the EU and its members with Serbia, emphasising that the Union is willing to strengthen cooperation with Serbia in the field of security and safety.
