Serbian Progressive Party Parliamentary Group Head Meets with French Senate European Affairs Committee members
The Head of the Serbian Progressive Party Parliamentary Group, Zoran Babic met today, at the National Assembly House, with the members of the French Senate Committee for European Affairs headed by Simon Sutour, the Committee Chair.
Simon Sutour, the Chair of the Committee for European Affairs, stressed that Serbia needs to develop and adjust its standards to the European ones. Sutour emphasised the importance of the negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels for Serbia’s Euro-integration process and commended the marked participation of women and young people in politics and important state functions.
In the course of the meeting, the members of the Committee for European Affairs showed particular interest in the reform of state administration and reform and departisation of state-owned companies. Babic opined that the departisation of companies requires political will which, he added, the Serbian Progressive Party demonstrated through the Government reshuffle and appointment of non-partisan persons for ministers and directors. He stressed that he endorsed the policy pursued by the Serbian Progressive Party – that only quality, work results and knowledge be the criteria for employment and appointment to important state office.
