Brnabic meets with Atlantic Council delegation

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic met with members of an Atlantic Council delegation on Monday.

Brnabic said Serbia was firmly committed to advance overall bilateral cooperation with the US, and noted that the US was Serbia's top trade partner in exchange of services and that a growing number of US companies was coming to Serbia to invest in the country due to a significantly improved business environment.

Speaking about the situation in the region, Brnabic noted that maintaining stability and stepping up cooperation in the region in all fields was crucial to Serbia, the Serbian government said in a statement.

She said that, in that sense, the Open Balkan had proved to be a very efficient format as it enabled connectivity and cooperation in the region, faster movement of people and goods as well as overall progress that should ensure peace and stability.

She again noted the necessity of strict and non-selective fulfilment of all previous commitments from the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, including, above all, commitments related to a Community of Serb Municipalities.

Jorn Fleck, senior director with the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, said the organisation's intention was to help preserve peace and stability in the Western Balkans and that it was ready to contribute to better regional cooperation and connectivity.
