EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos will meet in Belgrade on May 1 with representatives of opposition caucuses, after which she will meet with representatives of the parties comprising the ruling coalition.
On April 29, she met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Prime Minister Djuro Macut, National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabic, and Foreign Minister Marko Djuric.
After the meeting with Vucic, Kos said that the "momentum" for European enlargement was real and that the Union wanted Serbia to take that opportunity.
"Timely meeting with the Serbian president. Momentum for EU enlargement is real, and we want Serbia to seize this once in a generation opportunity to help complete our Union," Kos wrote on her X account after the meeting with Vucic.
She added, "For this, concrete steps on democratic principles and reforms are imperative."
Vucic told reporters that the meeting with the European commissioner had gone well, that they had openly discussed all the problems, as well as Serbia's strategic orientation and the geopolitical situation.
"I informed her that I was traveling to the U.S. and the Russian Federation. Of course in Europe they do not look kindly upon a trip to Moscow, but I speak openly about it to everyone," said Vucic.
