Vucic congratulates Tusk and Mogherini on new appointments

BELGRADE - Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has congratulated Donald Tusk on becoming the president of the European Council and Federica Mogherini on being appointed the new Eu representative for foreign affairs and security policy.

"I am convinced that during your term Europe will be an even better and more desirable place to live in for all the people from EU countries, but that you will also pay attention to and fight for those who wish to become a part of the EU," he stated.

Vucic said Serbia would be a sincere partner and associate to Tusk and Mogherini, and that it would do everything in internal reforms and political and economic progress to become a country that the EU would like to see as a member.

"Serbia knows that the road to full EU membership is difficult and long and we expect your criticism, support and assistance in achieving our vital interest, and that is EU membership," he said in his congratulatory letter to Tusk and Mogherini.
