Minister for European Integration, Tanja Miščević, met on 1 November with the head of the Delegation of the European Union in Belgrade, Emanuele Giaufret, with whom she discussed Serbia’s upcoming activities in the EU accession process. Minister Miščević presented the Government of Serbia’s plans for the acceleration of reforms in the process of European integration, in order to create benefits for the citizens of Serbia. As she emphasised, reforms in line with European Union standards contribute to a stronger economy, a more stable energy sector, efficient public administration, and especially the rule of law.

Ambassador Giaufret congratulated Minister Miščević on her appointment saying, “Your leadership and coordination role for all EU-related matters will be key in successfully meeting the challenges that lie ahead of us. Our close cooperation with you, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant ministries will be essential in accelerating the adoption of reforms for the benefit of Serbia’s citizens and the implementation of the EU Economic and Investment Plan.” Ambassador Giaufret invited the Minister to make use of the recently published 2022 Commission Report on Serbia as a guidance for reforms.
