"We do not seek partial membership. We want full membership, where we will have an equal seat at the table, like other countries on our continent. This is strategically important for us because decisions regarding the economy, security, and foreign policy that affect us are made at that table," Djuric told TV Prva.

He added that Serbia’s participation in decision-making is crucial since 70% of its economic exchange is with the EU. At the same time, Serbia will not sever its excellent relations with non-European countries, which he considers a comparative advantage for Serbia.

Djuric also highlighted the significance of President Aleksandar Vucic being one of the first world leaders to establish direct contact with the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump. He emphasized that it is in Serbia’s strategic interest to foster stronger ties with the United States.
