Markovic stressed that Serbia’s chief foreign policy goal is full EU membership, underlining that the support of Poland, as a country in favour of enlargement, is very important. She pointed out that Serbia is committed to regional cooperation, peace and stability in the region and can apply the good examples of cooperation within the Visegrad Group, especially as regards the “mini-Schengen” initiative.

The Ambassador said that Serbia has Poland’s wholehearted support on the path to full EU membership, hoping that new negotiation chapters would be opened at the Intergovernmental Conference on 26 June.

He highlighted the good bilateral cooperation between Poland and Serbia, which would be further enhanced by the exchange of visits at the highest state level expected in the upcoming period. The officials agreed that there is room to improve parliamentary cooperation at the level of friendship groups, as well as at the level of committees.
