Ambassador Schieb delivered the letters of Bundestag Speaker Bärbel Bas and Deputy Speaker Aydan Özoğuz to National Assembly Speaker Ivica Dacic expressing readiness to continue cooperation and deepen relations between the Serbian and German parliaments.

In the course of the meeting, the officials discussed Serbia’s European integration process with Ambassador Schieb expressing satisfaction with the opening of the cluster at the end of last year, stressing that it was made possible by the progress Serbia has achieved in its reform processes and emphasising the importance of judicial and constitutional changes confirmed in the recent referendum. Responding to the Ambassador’s questions, the National Assembly Speaker said that the changes to the Constitution that were confirmed in the referendum would soon be ratified by the National Assembly, which will in turn launch work on passing laws in this area, the deadline for the completion of which is one year.

National Assembly Speaker Ivica Dacic informed the Ambassador about the National Assembly’s upcoming activities viz. the adoption of a set of election laws this week in accordance with the agreements reached during the Inter-Party Dialogue. The officials also discussed last week's visit of the Inter-Party Dialogue co-facilitators and the realisation of the agreements reached during the dialogue. Ambassador Schieb thanked the National Assembly Speaker for his contribution to the inter-party dialogue, emphasising its importance and expressing confidence that the implementation of the agreements from the dialogue would contribute to fair and democratic elections that all the political parties would take part in.
