Serbia remains committed to European integration process

Belgrade, 2 December 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke today with European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi.

The Prime Minister personally thanked Commissioner Varhelyi and Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret, Head of the Delegation of the European Union in Serbia, for the support they provide to Serbia in the process of European integration.

Serbia remains committed to reforms on the European path because they are in the interest of our citizens, Brnabic pointed out.

The Prime Minister said that the Government's focus is on continuing reforms in the area of the rule of law and above all in the area of the judiciary, in accordance with the constitutional amendments that were adopted in the referendum in January this year.

According to her, in coordination with the Venice Commission, the government is working on drafting a set of judicial laws, the goal of which is to make the judiciary more independent and efficient.

In addition, as she pointed out, the focus will be on the adoption of a set of media laws that the new Ministry of Information and Telecommunications is working on, as well as the continuation of reforms in the field of energy and environmental protection.

Varhelyi expressed his support for the European integration process of Serbia and singled out energy and migration as key topics of importance for both sides.

He recalled that the European Commission has allocated €165 million of financial support for the field of energy, and that it will continue to support energy diversification in the Western Balkans.

In addition, as he pointed out, it is important to continue cooperation in the fight against illegal migration, in which Serbia can count on the help and support of the EU, as well as further harmonisation of visa policy with the EU.

In her conversation with Varhelyi, Brnabic expressed her dissatisfaction with yesterday's statement by Peter Stan regarding the appointment of Rasic and said that it contradicts the Brussels Agreement and the will of the people that was expressed in the elections.

The meeting was attended by Minister for European Integration Tanja Miscevic, Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic, Minister of Information and Telecommunications Mihailo Jovanovic, as well as the Head of the Delegation of the European Union in Serbia, Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret.
