Italy supports entry of Western Balkans into EU

Belgrade/Rome, 3 April 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today, after a meeting with Vice-President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy Antonio Tajani, that Italy supports European integration of the Western Balkans.

Dacic, who participated in the ministerial meeting and conference on the Western Balkans in Rome, said in an address to the media that Tajani was clear that Italy wants to be more present in our region, which we support, and added that Italy is in favour of the European integration of the entire region, which is also our strategic goal.

Dacic announced that Tajani will organise a second meeting of Western Balkan ministers by the end of the year, in order to see the effects of cooperation and how far the integration process has come.

According to him, it is very important that Sweden, the European Commission, as well as Minister Tajani, reiterated their support for the European integration of Serbia, noting that we also have to do our part and look for our common interests in the Western Balkans.

Dacic pointed out that he informed the participants of the meeting about our constructive approach to the agreements in Brussels and Ohrid, but also reiterated that the temporary institutions in Pristina want to avoid the formation of the Union of Serbian Municipalities and are doing everything to prolong it for the next period.
