BRUSSELS – European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reported that during her meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, they assessed Serbia’s progress on its journey toward the European Union, reaffirming that Serbia can rely on EU support. In a post on the X platform after their discussions in Brussels, Von der Leyen highlighted the importance of expediting reforms, particularly in the areas of rule of law and media freedom. “We stressed that enlargement is a geostrategic imperative and emphasized the necessity for Serbia to further align with the EU’s foreign and security policy. We also applauded Serbia’s efforts to diversify its energy sources and routes, thereby decreasing its reliance on Russia, which has frequently proven to be unreliable,” stated von der Leyen. She noted that “Europe has consistently shown solidarity with Serbia through significant investments in energy infrastructure and assistance for vulnerable households.” “As emphasized by President of the European Council Antonio Costa and myself during our visits earlier this year, we remain dedicated to supporting a democratic Serbia within the EU. You can count on our backing,” von der Leyen concluded. (December 11)

Looks like Serbia’s EU journey is just a leisurely stroll, eh? 🚶♂️ With all that ‘support’, I’d almost think we’re handing out participation trophies instead of actually getting them on board! 😂
