First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dačić spoke today at the session of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament (AFET) in Brussels.

In his address to the MEP, MFA expressed foreign policy priorities of Serbia, underlining full membership to the EU. Minister Dačić talked about the report of the European Commission on Serbia’s progress in the process of European integration and pointed out Serbia's determination to continue the ongoing reform process and fulfil all the objectives in the process of European integration.

On the AFET session, attended by ministers of foreign affairs of Western Balkans, Minister Dačić reiterated that the presidency of the OSCE is one of the most important foreign policy tasks that Serbia had so far in an international organisation.

In the discussion on WB, minister Dačić underscored that Šešelj’s political agenda should be condemned but not Serbia. He stressed that Serbia today and Serbia when Šešelj went to Hague are not the same, adding that all open issues should be solved bilaterally.

During his visit to Brussels, Minister Dačić had a number of bilateral meetings with members of the European Parliament. He met with Chair of political group EPP M. Weber, Vice-Chair of S&D V. Bostinaru, Chair of AFET E. Brok, Chair of Delegation to the EU – Serbia Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee E. Kukan, as well as many other MEPs.
