First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic and Slovene Interior Minister Katarina Kresal signed today a Protocol on readmission.
Dacic said after the signing that Serbia has an agreement with the European community regarding readmission and that it needs to sign readmission protocols with every EU country.
He noted that the implementation of this process has been successful so far and added that this is one of the conditions for visa liberalisation and Serbia’s EU integration.
Dacic stressed that Slovenia and its interior ministry support the abolishment of visas for Serbian citizens as well as Serbia’s EU integration process.
Slovenia’s posiiton will be important for the European Commison’s decision on visa abolition, he noted.
We wish to promote cooperation and discuss projects we could carry out together in order to tackle organised crime and corruption, he said.
Dacic stated that Serbia could make use of Slovene experience in professionalisation of the police force visa liberalisation.
He announced he will meet today with European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia Jelko Kacin and recalled Kacin’s recent positive statement about what Serbia has achieved so far on its European road.
