Excellent business, economic cooperation with Germany

Belgrade, 24 October 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic met with German Minister of State for Europe and Climate Anna Lührmann to discuss bilateral relations, continuation of Serbia's European integration, the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, as well as energy cooperation.

Brnabic informed her interlocutor about the plans of her new cabinet, stressing that commitment to full membership in the European Union remains a priority.

She stated that economic cooperation with Germany is excellent and that German companies employ 78,000 people in Serbia, which we greatly appreciate.

According to her, the challenges facing Serbia, as well as other European countries, when it comes to energy, require a new approach to the problem, which implies large investments in the development of energy infrastructure, especially in new sources of green energy.

The Prime Minister stated that mutual cooperation in this matter will be important.

Speaking about the continuation of the dialogue with Pristina, Brnabic pointed out once again that Belgrade has done everything stipulated by the Brussels Agreement and that she expects Pristina to form the Community of Serbian Municipalities.

Lührmann agreed with the Prime Minister that Serbian-German cooperation has room for development, especially emphasising the importance of continued cooperation within the Berlin process, which is important for the future of all people living in this area, especially young people.

At the same time, the Minister expressed her gratitude for the steps taken in the matter of harmonisation with the EU visa policy, and at the same time emphasised the importance of greater harmonisation of Serbia with the common foreign and security policy of the EU.
