Vucic and Costa after the meeting: The future of Serbia is in the European Union

The President of Serbia stated after the meeting with Costa that they discussed all important issues, the necessity of dialogue with Pristina, and the preservation of regional peace and stability. He emphasized that Costa brought goodwill to the talks about Serbia’s accession to the European Union.

"Serbia sometimes has a disobedient president, but he has never questioned Serbia’s European path. I accept criticism, both from Costa and from Ursula von der Leyen. Serbia in the EU is our path and our goal, and I believe that the people who will be the new president and the new government in two years will continue on this path," Vucic said.

Costa stated that the European Union remains strongly committed to Serbia's accession as a stable and prosperous country and expects that the commitment of the new Serbian government to European integration will quickly turn into concrete actions and accelerated reforms.

"We currently have positive momentum in the EU for enlargement, and that is a clear opportunity for Serbia to latch onto and take advantage of. The European Union remains strongly committed to Serbia’s accession as a stable and prosperous country that, despite the legacy of the past, has chosen a European future. And I was glad to hear that European integration remains a top priority for you and for the new government," Costa said.

Responding to a question from a Newsmax Balkans reporter about when Serbia will become part of the EU, he said there is no set date, but emphasized that what matters now is turning words into concrete actions and accelerating reforms.
