Regional unity today more important than ever

Belgrade/Sofia, 10 June 2026

Prime Minister Professor Đuro Macut, MD, DSc, said today in Sofia that Serbia will remain a reliable and constructive partner in all regional initiatives that contribute to peace, stability, sustainable development and greater connectivity.

At the Summit of the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP), Macut noted that in a world of geopolitical uncertainty, regional unity is more important than ever, adding that Serbia remains committed to strengthening regional cooperation in addressing common challenges.

According to him, 30 years of SEECP have demonstrated a simple but important lesson: that progress is achieved through partnership and dialogue, not through isolation and division.

The challenges ahead remind us that the work of building a stable and prosperous South-East Europe is not yet complete, the Prime Minister emphasised, adding that Serbia views regional cooperation as one of the key pillars of its foreign policy and remains committed to strengthening good neighbourly relations, improving dialogue and supporting initiatives that bring concrete benefits to citizens.

He emphasised that stronger regional economic ties are not just an economic goal, but also represent a strategic investment in the region’s long-term stability and resilience.

We need to continue building a region in which goods, services, capital, knowledge and people move more freely, in which companies can grow across borders, and in which innovation, research and entrepreneurship receive additional support, he said.

The Prime Minister also said that Serbia remains fully committed to its European path and to implementing reforms that accelerate its economic integration into the European Union’s single market.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that the European Commission has once again confirmed that Cluster 3 is technically ready for opening, expressing his belief that its opening would provide additional momentum to Serbia’s EU accession process and strengthen the country’s contribution to the European Economic Area.

Serbia supports innovative approaches aimed at gradually including candidate countries in certain EU policies, programmes and institutional frameworks even before full membership, Macut said.

According to him, Serbia would consider EU membership acceptable even without the right of veto, if it ensured access to the single market and the free movement of goods, people and capital.
