The Munich Security Conference closing panel on the future of the European Union has been held today, where Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has addressed the participants saying that it is much more important for the EU to hold substantive discussions with the Western Balkans, and not about the Western Balkans.

Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has assessed that the presence of the Serbian delegation at the Munich Security Conference this year was extremely noticeable and significant, adding that, tonight, at an informal dinner for Western Balkans leaders in Brussels organized by President of the European Council Charles Michel, President Aleksandar Vučić will once again have the opportunity to clearly present Serbia's expectations, questions and views, but also to hear what others in the region and Serbia’s partners from the EU have to say.
On the final day of the Munich Security Conference, Joksimović said to the press that the Serbian delegation, composed of President Aleksandar Vučić, Prime Minister Ana Brnabić and herself, had used the conference in the best possible way, in an important moment for Europe and for the world, but also for the region and for Serbia.

Within the Munich Security Conference, Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has met today with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides. After the meeting, Joksimović stated that Serbia must not forget and presume good relations with countries that support it on its European path and regarding the matter of non-recognition of Kosovo, but that it must intensively invest in good relations with those countries, including Cyprus.

“President Aleksandar Vučić has participated in the panel on the security at the Western Balkans, organised within the 56th Munich Security Conference, where he presented Serbia’s positions in the best possible way regarding Serbia’s European path, as well as the Belgrade–Pristina dialogue”, stated tonight Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović, adding that the President also posed the right and important questions which Serbia expects to be answered.
