He conveyed that broader political, security and economic developments in Europe were also discussed, assessing that there is a high degree of agreement that a united Europe is at the same time a stronger Europe.
In the context of Serbia’s EU integration, the Minister said that he expects support for Serbia’s further progress on that path, including the opening of Cluster 3 as soon as possible, but of the remaining clusters as well.
Serbia, as a centrally positioned country in Southeast Europe, together with the rest of the region, represents one of the development opportunities for the entire continent, Đurić said, adding that he and his Finnish interlocutors also discussed issues on which there is no complete consensus, including the issue of Kosovo and Metohija.
The Minister also pointed out the difficult position of the Serbian people in the southern province.
Speaking about economic cooperation, Đurić recalled that several Finnish companies already operate in Serbia, especially in the field of renewable energy sources, and expressed the expectation that the volume of Finnish investments will be further increased in the coming period.
Today’s visit by the Serbian delegation represents a diplomatic breakthrough for Serbia towards the Nordic group of countries and the strengthening of its positions in northern Europe, said the head of Serbian diplomacy.
