Brnabic meets with Borg

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic met with OSCE Chairman and Maltese FM Ian Borg in Belgrade on Wednesday.

Brnabic informed Borg she had invited all parliamentary parties to another round of discussions on implementation of recommendations by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), scheduled for Thursday.

She noted that the meeting would also be attended by civil society organisations, Serbia's international partners and representatives of the OSCE Mission to Serbia.

Welcoming Borg to Serbia, Brnabic said she was pleased to have an opportunity to speak with the chairperson of such an important organisation as the OSCE at the very beginning of her tenure as parliament speaker.

She noted that, two years ago, the parliament had passed constitutional amendments strengthening judicial independence and that OSCE assistance had been more than valuable in the process.

Borg commended Serbia's readiness to cooperate with the OSCE and noted that the country had demonstrated great commitment to that despite numerous challenges.
