Membership in European Union remains Serbia’s strategic goal

Belgrade, 19 January 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic underlined today during the talks with Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret that membership in the European Union remains our strategic priority and one of our main foreign policy priorities.

On the eve of his visit to Brussels, Dacic reiterated that Serbia remains fully committed to the reform process and the improvement of all spheres of our society.

He expressed Serbia's readiness to further improve regional cooperation, which directly contributes to the building of mutual trust, the reconciliation process and encourages overall development on our path to full membership in the EU.

Also, the First Deputy Prime Minister expressed the hope that the EU will continue to provide support to Serbia in the field of irregular migration, in order to ensure the effective functioning of the centres, adequate support and services for migrants, as well as border protection.

The Ambassador welcomed the formalisation of the support that Serbia planned to provide to the energy system of Ukraine through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

Alignment with the EU's common foreign and security policy was also discussed.

The interlocutors exchanged opinions on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija and agreed that continuing the dialogue is the only and right way to reach a sustainable agreement, according to a statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
