Serbia wishes to be part of European family
Belgrade,
12 May 2023
At the meeting, where opinions were exchanged on the current economic and geopolitical situation in Europe, Mali reiterated that our country will make sure that it is not used to circumvent EU sanctions.
We stand for peace and stability, and it is also our wish that the conflict in Ukraine ends as soon as possible, because, like many other European countries, we too suffer great negative consequences because of it, he pointed out.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that Serbia wants to be part of the European family and that it is our duty to respect European rules and standards.
We naturally aspire to join the EU, we have signed and ratified the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with it. The EU is our key trade partner with 60 percent of the total trade exchange and we are obliged to comply with its standards and rules, which we are doing, he underlined.
The Customs Administration already has excellent cooperation with the EU, with which it exchanges information almost on a daily basis, Mali said.
