In a statement to Tanjug news agency, Milivojevic said that in the recent talks with Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado, the Serbian delegation led by Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic was assured that Portugal will endorse Serbia's signing of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement by year-end.
She said that Portugal is willing to cooperate with Serbia in several fields, first of all in the fields of justice and security and that this cooperation is very important for Serbia's inclusion on the "white Schengen list".
Speaking about German EU Presidency, Milivojevic said that it is very important that Germany continuously supported a quick resumption of negotiations and the formation of a new Serbian government.
