Serbia reliable partner in implementation of EU security policy

Belgrade, 15 November 2022

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Milos Vucevic pointed out today, in a conversation with Head of the EU Delegation in Serbia Emanuele Giaufret, that our country, as a candidate for membership in the Union, is a reliable partner in the implementation of the EU's Common Defence and Security Policy.

Vucevic recalled that Serbia, as a partner country, has so far participated in a total of six missions and operations of the European Union, while in 2023 the Serbian Armed Forces will be on alert for the second time under the auspices of the HELBROC battle group.

He pointed to determination of Serbia, as a militarily neutral country, to constantly improve its defence system in order to achieve the ability to effectively respond to security challenges and threats of importance to defence.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the Delegation of the European Union for its support in the current implementation of the project "Strengthening the capacity of the Republic of Serbia in the area of demining and destruction of unexploded ordnance".

The interlocutors positively assessed the project cooperation, which, with the financial support of the European Union, recorded a significant positive trend in the past period, and mutually concluded that there is a willingness to continue the cooperation in the coming period.
