Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Affairs Aleksandar Vulin visited Brussels on 21 and 22 September 2015, where he met with Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides, Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship and Commissioner for  Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn.
Vulin told reporters after talks that the attitude of Commissioners is that Serbia is an example of how to behave towards migrants. He pointed out that returning refugees to Serbia under readmission agreements is not a solution and that it is necessary for the EU to formulate a common policy. He expressed hope that the EU will find a comprehensive solution under which all countries that are affected by the migrant crisis will act by the same rules, stressing out that Serbia wants to be a part of that solution. He said that the fact that Serbia registered around 140,000 migrants since the beginning of the crisis is crucial for future talks with Brussels, primarily for security reasons. Minister underlined that Croatia did not do anything to prepare for migration flows, regardless of the fact they knew they would soon also be affected by this problem.
