Today, a second cargo Boeing 747  landed at Nikola Tesla Airport from Kerala, with 90 tonnes load of medical protective equipment bought by Serbia to combat COVID-19.​​​​​​ The cost for the transport of the equipment is fully funded by the European Union as part of the 93 mil EUR package for Serbia announced by the European Union, which provides immediate as well as short and medium term assistance to help Serbia to fight COVID-19.

The Ministry of European Integration, in cooperation with the German Organization for International Cooperation (GIZ), and within the project ‘Support to the Public Administration Reform in Serbia’, has organised a two-day workshop “Skills for communicating the EU and public speaking in accession negotiations for members of negotiating groups”.

The Ministry of European Integration has assessed today that once again a part of the so-called non-governmental sector, instead of contributing to the creation of a positive climate regarding Serbia’s European integration, which certainly includes providing sensible criticism aimed at strengthening capacities, actually applies third-rate criticising methods, exclusively serving as an extended arm of certain opposition circles.

On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as the Programme Managing Authority, and the Ministry of European Integration, Department for CESCI (Central European Service for Cross-Border Initiatives) will carry out a thematic preparation of IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme Hungary–Serbia 2021–2027. For the upcoming programme to respond to local needs in the most appropriate way, it is important to gather information on the needs of organisations interested in cross-border cooperation.
