Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic on June 8 said that Serbia had been giving importance to the Berlin Process, an initiative which had proved to be a good forum for strengthening regional cooperation, development and promotion of the policy of reconciliation and overcoming the problems of the past, according to a release from the Ministry.  

“Serbia will ever remain a proponent of the policy of peace and connection as it is the only way to create stability which is a precondition for economic growth and progress,” Selakovic told an online meeting of foreign ministers of the states involved in the Berlin Process, held as part of preparations for the 2021 Summit.

Commenting on Pristina representative’s act of placing the Kosovo flag, Selakovic noted that some had not yet understood the real meaning and essence of the Berlin Process, adding that those should first start honoring international obligations, such as the Agreement on regional presentation.

Selakovic also said that the Berlin Process had been supporting EU integration of the Western Balkans through concrete projects and measures, noting that the initiative “is the backbone of regional cooperation focusing on economic networking and is in line with the Serbian government’s foreign policy orientation.”
