Accession of Serbia to the European Union

BELGRADE - Serbia's European Integration Minister Tanja Miscevic met on Tuesday in Belgrade with a delegation of the Polish parliamentary committee on EU affairs, headed by Chairman Kacper Plazynski, to discuss Serbia's main reform challenges on the path to EU membership, bilateral cooperation with Poland and the country's support to the EU integration process.

During a recent visit to Brussels by a diverse group of civil society organisations from Kosovo and Serbia, a consistent and surprising message was heard from various interlocutors - that there is a renewed and buoyant sense of momentum behind the European Union enlargement process.

Demostat states, referring to its diplomatic sources, that the perspective of Serbia's membership in the EU, investments in the energy sector, meaning being independent from Russia in that area, the arrival of US and European companies, are part of what Serbia could expect if it agrees to the Western proposal.

Serbia's membership in the European Union is supported by 43 percent of citizens, a third is against it, and the reforms required for membership are supported by two thirds of citizens, according to a new public opinion survey conducted by the Ministry of European Integration, Beta reported.

BELGRADE - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said on Wednesday a new European Parliament resolution calling on Belgrade to align with the EU foreign policy was "another example of enormous hypocrisy."

Serbia, the largest EU candidate country from the Western Balkans, has backed away from aligning its foreign policy with that of the bloc and must strengthen its commitment to EU strategy and reforms, according to the enlargement report published by the European Commission.

Gioffre will hand over to Vui the Annual Report of the European Commission on Serbia in 2022.
The meeting will be held at 18:00 at the Palace of Serbia.

The EC today presents the Report on the progress of the countries of the Western Balkans

Belgrade – President Borut Pahor has noted in an interview with Monday’s issue of the Serbian newspaper Politika that the EU not wanting or being unable to establish greater presence in the Western Balkans will have consequences. He said he will continue to work for the EU accession prospects of the Western Balkans and expressed understanding for Serbia.

Residents of the Slovenian capital are convinced that both Serbia and the EU can benefit from joining, provided that, as they say, Serbia fulfills all the conditions for membership and respects the values on which the Union was founded.

Except for the Prime Minister, the Serbian delegation will also include the Minister for European Integration Jadranka Joksimovi and the Ambassador of Serbia to the EU, Ana Hrustranovi.
