Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke today with Chair of the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee Michael Roth about bilateral political and economic relations between Serbia and Germany, Serbia's European path, as well as the rule of law.
Brnabic stressed that the partnership between the two countries is progressing more and more every year, which is also confirmed by the fact that Germany is Serbia's number one trade partner.
Also, the Prime Minister emphasised that Germany is a leading partner in the exchange of services, primarily in the field of information technologies.
She said that the Serbian economy is increasingly oriented towards the IT sector and that we highly appreciate the fact that large German companies are opening their research and development centres in Serbia more and more.
The Prime Minister cited as an example the company Continental, which opened its development and research centre in Novi Sad, which is of crucial importance for our economy.
Brnabic emphasised that the inflow of German foreign direct investments is considerable, bearing in mind that companies from that country employ approximately 80,000 workers in Serbia.
According to her, the priority of Serbia's foreign policy is membership in the EU, which implies the continuation of the implementation of reforms, primarily for the sake of a better and higher-quality life for the citizens of Serbia.
She cited as an example the constitutional reforms that were adopted last year, which followed the adoption of judicial laws in the National Assembly last month, and which together should contribute to a more independent and efficient judiciary.
The Chair of the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee stated that Germany supports the accession of Serbia and the Western Balkans to the EU and reiterated that the implementation of reforms in all areas of society is crucial on this path.
