EU membership remains Serbia’s strategic commitment

Belgrade, 15 May 2023

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic talked today with Director-General at the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations Gert Jan Koopman about the European path and economic progress of Serbia, as well as about relations in the region.

The Prime Minister pointed out that peace and stability are crucial for the progress of the region and underlined that the EU is Serbia’s number one economic partner, whereas the countries of the region are in second place.

Brnabic specified that Serbia reduced the predicted inflation, achieved economic growth and it will continue to do so in the coming period.

She also said that a large number of EU companies invest and do business in Serbia, first of all due to the stable economic situation.

The Prime Minister reiterated that membership in the EU remains the strategic commitment and priority of Serbia’s foreign policy.

The Director-General at the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations highlighted the importance of keeping the momentum in reforms in Serbia and the entire region, especially in the field of the rule of law and other priority areas.

Koopman said that European integration should be accelerated, noting that this region can be the driving force of Europe thanks to economic reforms.
