Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has spoken today with the Greek Ambassador to Serbia, Yorgos Diacofotakis, about Serbia’s process of European integration, strengthening of bilateral cooperation and important issues related to the Western Balkan region.

Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has assessed today that the Erasmus programme is one of the best EU programmes, adding that the whole world is in a period of transformation that requires new knowledge, which is why it is good that Serbia has been a participant in this programme since 2019 and that it is keeping pace with the changes in full capacity.

Today, Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has sent a request for the payment of the third tranche of EU support worth EUR 8 million, which will be used for the improvement of Serbia’s integrated border management system, whose beneficiary is the Ministry of Interior. The payment is expected to be realised in early 2021, as stated in the press release issued by the Minister’s Cabinet.    

Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović says that the European Commission’s report is a call for the acceleration of reforms because Serbia is counted on, and not a threat of suspension as could be heard these days, adding that it is also an acknowledgment of Serbia’s resilience that is based on a responsible political and economic route that has been established.
