Dacic meets with German interior minister

BELGRADE - Serbian First Deputy PM and FM Ivica Dacic met with German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser in Belgrade on Wednesday.

The ministers exchanged views on the challenges of irregular migration on the Western Balkan route and the fight against human trafficking, the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Noting Serbia's constructive role during the migrant crisis in 2015, Dacic said Serbia would continue to take the necessary measures to remain a dependable partner to Germany and other EU member states in curbing irregular migration, among other ways, through further alignment of Serbia's visa policy with that of the EU.

Faeser reiterated Germany's support for reform efforts bringing Serbia closer to EU membership as its strategic goal.

During the November 28-29 visit to Serbia, Faeser also met with Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic.
