Serbian official says the country is ready for accession talks with EU

Serbian government’s EU Integration Office head Milica Delević says that from the administrative and technical aspect Serbia is ready to start accession talks with the EU. She said Serbia has a foundation and an established mechanism for negotiating teams for the dialogue with the EU.

She added that at the highest political level, a coordinating body brings together the prime minister and the ministers whose departments are most involved in EU integration.

The second expert group includes state secretaries, who have been appointed the heads of 33 subgroups – the same number as the areas to be negotiated with the EU.
