Serbian President says EU is one of the most important partners

Serbia is solving the most important issues related to its future through dialogue, President Tomislav Nikolić said in Belgrade on Tuesday.

Addressing the inaugural meeting of the Roma Interparliamentary Organization, held at the national parliament building, Nikolić described the EU as “one of Serbia’s most important partners”:

“The EU is without a doubt one of the most important partners of Serbia at this moment, one of our biggest investors and donors, and one of the priorities of our foreign policy, while the majority of Serbian emigrants live in EU countries. We are naturally inclined toward each other when it comes to politics, economy, culture, and every other sense.”

Addressing the gathering, Nikolić also stated that Serbia was, on this road, “making decisive efforts to improve its position, contributing to peace, security, cooperation and sustainable development of the region.”
