Vučić stated that every visit by Von der Leyen has a special significance for Serbia and that it represents another step in the direction of strengthening cooperation and trust between Serbia and the European Union.
"It is a great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Belgrade. Each of her visits has a special significance for Serbia and represents another step in the direction of strengthening cooperation and trust between our country and the European Union," Vučić wrote on Tuesday in a post on his Instagram account.
Von der Leyen is in Belgrade as part of his annual tour of the Western Balkans. As they say from Brussels, the talks will focus on the Growth Plan for the region, which the European Commission sees as a new framework for economic connection and speeding up the European integration of the countries of the Western Balkans.
The last time the president of the EC was in Belgrade at the end of October last year, also as part of a tour of the countries of the region.
In the meantime, Serbia has not started the EU accession process even by a millimeter, which is stuck in a dead end. There is not even a word about opening new or closing open chapters, unlike Montenegro, which has a real possibility of becoming a full member of the European Union in 2028. European integration as a priority of Serbian foreign policy is very much a dead letter.
