Kaja Kallas: I Want to See Serbia Make Progress Toward the European Union

"My message to the authorities in Belgrade is clear. I want to see Serbia advance toward the EU. Political leaders must implement the necessary reforms and define a strategic direction," Kallas wrote on her account on the social media platform X.

She emphasized that this can best be achieved, as she said, "by rebuilding trust and committing to democratic principles."

Earlier today, Kallas met with the Prime Minister of Serbia, Prof. Dr. Djuro Macut, to discuss the continuation and potential acceleration of Serbia’s EU integration process, as well as the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.

Macut emphasized the need to speed up Serbia’s European integration process and expressed confidence that concrete steps on this path—such as the opening of Cluster 3, which has been pending for three years—would soon be discussed.

The meeting was also attended by Foreign Minister Marko Djuric, Minister for European Integration Nemanja Starovic, EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Peter Sorensen, and Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret, according to the statement.

Djuric stated that the meeting covered a wide range of key issues, including strengthening Serbia's cooperation with European partners to accelerate its accession to the EU.

"Special emphasis was placed on the current stalemate in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue. We reiterated Belgrade’s open and constructive position, reaffirming our commitment to finding a lasting and mutually acceptable solution—provided that the other side shows genuine willingness to compromise and fully respects previously agreed obligations," Djuric wrote on X.

Kaja Kallas arrived in Belgrade last night and met with President Aleksandar Vucic. Today, in addition to meeting Prime Minister Macut, she also met with the Speaker of the Serbian National Assembly, Ana Brnabic.
