Serbian Minister without portfolio in charge for EU Integrations Jadranka Joksimovic met on 23rd and 24th  July 2015 in Brussels with members of the European Parliament  – Head of EP delegation to the EU-Serbia Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee Eduard Kukan, European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister, president of the Group of Friendship with Serbia Emilian Pavel and shadow rapporteur for Serbia of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, Tanja Fajon .
Among various topics that Minister Joksimovic and MEPs discussed, main focus was on the Serbian European integration process and the problem of illegal migrants that are trying to reach Western Europe across Serbia. Reffering to the issue of European integration, Minister Joksimovic emphasised that Serbia has achieved visible progress in the reform process and European integration and deserves opening of the chapters in the EU accession negotiations by the end of the year. She pointed out that this would serve as an additional impetus for both – further reforms and the dynamics of the accession process.
Regarding the issue of illegal migrants, Minister Joksimovic and MEPs agreed that search for a solution to the problem calls for partnership relations and that the announcement of a fence that would be built on the borders does not in any way constitute a part of sustainable and European solution. Minister Joksimovic stressed that Serbia will not resort to similar measures and, as the EU candidate country, will respect European standards in this area.

During her visit to Brussels, on 26th July 2015, Minister Joksimovic also met with Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn. Joksimovic and Hahn voiced the expectation that initial chapters in accession negotiations would be opened by the year's end.
Joksimovic outlined the belief that the issue of chapter opening would enter the procedure in September already, so that they could be opened in the coming months, and certainly before the end of the year.
When it comes to action plans for Chapters 23 and 24, Hahn said that excellent progress has been made, adding that much depends on progress in the dialogue on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina. He expects that enough progress will be made in the dialogue for member countries to give the go-ahead for the opening of chapters.
