Prime Minister Ana Brnabic talked today with the mediators of the European Parliament in the inter-party dialogue – MEPs Tanja Fajon, Vladimir Bilcik and former MEPs Knut Fleckenstein and Eduard Kukan about the recent referendum on constitutional changes and listened to their suggestions regarding the elections to be held in Serbia in early April.

The officials congratulated Prime Minister Brnabic on her successful visit to Brussels, as well as on the fruitful cooperation during the inter-party dialogue.

Their common assessment is that the April elections are very important for the further development of democracy in Serbia and that in that sense it is important to implement the agreement, but they are also ready to do so if there is still space and need for their help, given that their expertise is available to the government of Serbia.

Improving the pre-election atmosphere is equally important, along with the effort to reach concrete results in a timely manner, they assessed.

Among other things, the officials discussed the manner of representing the parties during the election campaign in public service programmes and the training of observers who will be at the polling stations.

Prime Minister Brnabic told the MEPs that their mission was successful, which is confirmed by the fact that no party will boycott the elections, and that the referendum results show that Serbia is determined to continue reforms, in line with its strategic choice to join the European Union.

Brnabic concluded that the independence of the judiciary is one of the pillars of democracy.
