German Ambassador to Serbia Thomas Schieb said on Nov. 23 that the EU had managed to quickly adapt to the new situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic and to focus on the necessary measures.

Addressing the 20th Belgrade Economic Forum, Schieb said that the EU had reacted in an efficient, timely and fast way when dealing with the consequences of the pandemic, and that European solidarity had proved to be key in the matter.

The pandemic is at the top of the challenges during Germany's EU presidency and the main focus is on how to overcome the economic and social consequences of the pandemic, but also how to better prepare for future crises, said Schieb.
