Estonia firmly supports Serbia on its way to EU

Belgrade/Tallinn, 16 September 2024

Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko Đurić said today in Tallinn that it is of great importance for Serbia to take a new step towards building relations with Estonia and the other Baltic nations.

Đurić, after the meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia Margus Tsahkna, expressed his gratitude for the support that Estonia provides to Serbia on its European path.

Membership in the European Union is a key strategic commitment of the government of Serbia, he said, adding that we want to implement all the necessary reforms by 2027.

We also had the opportunity to exchange information about the situation in our regions. In this regard, we are grateful to Estonia for supporting the EU-mediated dialogue between Belgrade and Priština, which needs a lot of support these days, Đurić said.

Tsahkna pointed out that Estonia strongly supports our country on its way to the EU.

Both countries share a passion for IT and the digital sector, and I am glad that we have many joint projects in that area, among which are digital governance and cyber security, Tsahkna pointed out.

When it comes to the security situation in the Balkans, he expressed his support for the continuation of the dialogue between Belgrade and Priština, which should lead to a long-term solution in the process of normalising relations.

Today, the head of Serbian diplomacy also met with Speaker of the Parliament of Estonia Lauri Hussar.

Đurić assessed that strengthening the parliamentary dialogue and connect the representatives of the two countries is of great importance for the improvement of bilateral and political relations.

The Minister pointed out that the Parliamentary Friendship Group with the Baltic States has been formed in the Serbian National Assembly and that the exchange of visits by the presidents of the parliaments and the heads of the foreign affairs committee would be very significant.

When it comes to the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, Đurić emphasised that Serbia is a pillar of peace and stability in the region, and that it has consistently advocated dialogue and constructive solutions.

However, Priština's unilateral moves in the last two and a half years, which cruelly trampled and took away the collective human, political and economic rights of Serbs, led to concrete measures, which Serbia will take in the coming period, he said.

According to him, Belgrade wants to revive the process of normalisation of relations, which implies the implementation of the agreements reached so far.

During his visit to the Estonian Parliament, Đurić also spoke with President of the Foreign Policy Committee Mark Mikkelsen and members of the Committee.
