The President of the Republic of Serbia, who led our delegation at the first meeting of High Council for Cooperation between Serbia and Greece, met the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker on 13 July 2017 in Thessaloniki.   

While discussing European integration, President Juncker said that the European perspective of Serbia was clear, and President Vučić reiterated that there was a need to determine a framework date for the accession of Serbia to the EU. President Vučić also stated that the citizens of Serbia had believed in the accession to the EU for a long time, but that this was a long-lasting process. The President underlined that Serbia would continue to work on its European integration, but also that we aspired to have this process successfully finalized. 

On this occasion, the President Vučić invited the President Juncker to visit Serbia during the mandate of this composition of European Commission.
