Spain’s continued support to Serbia on path to EU membership
Belgrade/Madrid,
15 July 2026
On that occasion, Starović thanked Sampedro for the continued support that Spain provides to Serbia on its path to EU membership.
During the talks, the opening of Cluster 3 in the negotiation process was highlighted as important in order to valorise the outcomes of the reform processes implemented in Serbia, but also to confirm the credibility of the EU enlargement process based on the merits of candidates.
Sampedro emphasised that the Kingdom of Spain remains firmly in its position of respecting the territorial integrity of internationally recognised states and, in this sense, treats Kosovo and Metohija exclusively as part of the Republic of Serbia.

In Madrid, Starović also spoke with Spanish Minister for Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory Ángel Víctor Torres Pérez.
Starović thanked Torres Pérez for removing Ustasha symbols from the grave of the warden of the Jasenovac concentration camp, Vjekoslav Maks Luburić, in Carcaixent near Valencia.
The interlocutors agreed that preserving the historical memory of Nazi crimes during World War II is a civilisational obligation and that any glorification of criminals from that period is unacceptable in contemporary Europe and the world.
