In conversation with the special German envoy Vucic stressed that Serbia will continue to follow its European path even more intensively.

He said he expects that Saracen's engagement would give additional impetus to cooperation between the countries of the Western Balkans, which would significantly contribute to preserving peace and stability in the region, the president's press service announced.

Saracen pointed out that the policy of (EU) enlargement and work on strengthening cooperation between the countries of the Western Balkans will be one of the priorities of German foreign policy in the coming years, stressing the desire for stronger engagement of the entire union in our region.

Vucic stressed that Serbia, with its serious and responsible approach to regional policy, is recognized as a reliable and responsible partner in the region, committed to political dialogue and further development of regional relations in all areas.

In that sense, the president pointed out that Serbia attaches great importance to the Berlin Process, as a forum for strengthening regional cooperation, advancing the reconciliation process and overcoming inherited problems from the past, as well as a forum supporting the Western Balkans' European integration through concrete projects and measures.

"Serbia is strongly engaged in all activities organized within the Berlin Process, and the Open Balkan initiative is another proactive approach of our country to regional integration," the president said and added that it is crucial that these efforts are recognized by the European Union in order to provide encouragement to the countries of the region who are on the European path.

Speaking about the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, the interlocutors agreed that talking is the only right way to resolve open issues, as well as to reach a sustainable agreement.

Vucic stressed that he expects constructive support for dialogue and finding a compromise solution that will enable lasting stability in the region with the implementation of existing agreements, and above all the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities, which has not happened in over 9 years.

Speaking about economic cooperation, the president reiterated that Germany is Serbia's largest foreign trade partner and that our country is interested in further strengthening this cooperation, since Serbia is increasingly profiling itself as one of the world's most attractive and safest investment destinations.

The president stressed that Serbia stands for full and consistent implementation of the Dayton Agreement, but opposes imposed solutions that do not have the consent of all three constituent peoples, believing that such decisions cannot lead to prosperity and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
