In Brussels, we presented the results of progress towards the EU: Serbia is by far the largest economy in the Western Balkans! (VIDEO)

The article reports on a presentation by Serbian officials at an event in Brussels focused on Serbia’s progress toward EU membership. Key figures including President of the National Assembly Ana Brnabić, First Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Sinisa Mali, Foreign Minister Marko Đurić, and EU Integration Minister Nemanja Starović highlighted recent legislative achievements aligned with EU reforms. They emphasized the passage of 23 laws related to EU integration, including those addressing legal frameworks, growth plans, and the implementation of ODIHR recommendations. Brnabić specifically mentioned the establishment of an independent commission to review the electoral roll, composed of non-political experts, civil society representatives, and parliamentary majorities. The article also notes plans to open a Serbian embassy in Latvia, marking a first in Serbia’s diplomatic history.

Srbija je u Briselu predstavila znatne napredake u reformskom procesu, što je doprinelo njenoj poziciji kao najveće ekonomije na zapadnom Balkanu, prema poruci koju su doneli ministri i predstavnici zemlje tokom događaja "Serbia's Reform Momentum: From Commitment to Delivery". Događaj, organizovan uz suradnju vlade i misije Srbije u EU, bio je prilika da se predstave konkretne rezultati koje je zemlja ostvarila u cilju članstva u Evropskoj uniji. Na događaju su prisustvovali više stotina gostiju, uključujući predstavnike evropskih institucija, diplomatski kor, medije i analitičarske centre. Predstavili su rezultate reformskog procesa, kao i prioritete za budućnost.

Pored toga, predsednica Narodne skupštine Ana Brnabić naglasila je da Srbija neće samo planirati reforme, već ih i sprovoditi. U 2026. godini, zemlja je usvojila 23 zakona koji su u direktnoj vezi sa EU integracijom, od kojih je 14 povezano sa pravnim tekovinama ili Planom rasta. Takođe, navedena je i osoba koja je povezana sa implementacijom preporuka ODIHR – četiri zakona koji se tiče punog primene tih preporuka. Brnabić je dodala da su pet zakona usvojena u saradnji sa Venecijanskom komisijom, a ti zakoni su povezani sa oblasti sudstva. Oni su bili kritikovani od strane Evropske komisije i nekih članica EU, ali su sada razjašnjeni i ispravljeni u saradnji sa Savetom Evrope i Venecijanskom komisijom.

Nastavljajući rad, Brnabić je objasnila da će sledećeg ponedeljka, 1. juna, biti usvojen još jedan predlog zakona koji je usklađen sa ODIHR-om. Taj zakon će biti u skupštinskoj proceduri i trebao bi povećati broj usklađenih zakona sa preporukama ODIHR od 15 do 25. Prema njoj, najvažniji korak bio je promena zakona o objedinjenom biračkom spisku. U tom smislu, uspostavljena je komisija od 10 članova, koja ima zadatke da pregleda i analizira birački spisak. Komisija je potpuno inkluzivna, jer su njeni članovi predloženi ne političarima, već parlamentarnom većinom, opozicijom i civilnim društvom. Ovo je prvi put u istoriji Srbije, a komisija će raditi stalno i ubuduće.

Ministar spoljnih poslova Marko Đurić je najavio da će Srbija otvoriti ambasadu u Letoniji, u Rigi, što je prvi put u istoriji zemlje. Ovo je bilo važno jer su zemlje Baltika često kritikovale Srbiju i bili su skeptični prema njoj. Đurić je istaknuo da žele da otvore kanale komunikacije, posebno sa tim zemljama, da objasne stvari i da odgovore na teška pitanja. Takođe, najavio je da će biti održana Ukrajinsko-srpska konferencija, koja će biti posvećena saradnji između Srbije i Ukrajine na putu ka članstvu u EU.

Ministar spoljnih poslova Đurić je takođe naglasio da u regionu postoji 19 graničnih prelaza od ukupnih 1.800, što pokazuje da je Srbija u procesu integracije sa drugim zemljama. Ako bi ceo region ušao u Šengen, to bi sklonilo etno-nacionalističke podele. Đurić je istakao da je važno da se zemlje u regionu, kao i Srbija, nalaze u zajedničkom tržištu, kako bi se smanjila potreba za političkim sukobima. Ovo je jedan od ključnih aspekata u procesu evropske integracije.

Događaj je bio deo serije događaja koji će biti organizovani u ostalim velikim centrima država članica EU. Ovo je prilika da se Srbija u srcu evropskih institucija predstavi kao zemlja koja se fokusira na kredibilnu politiku proširenja, baziranu na ispunjenim obavezama, merljivim rezultatima i međusobnom poverenju. Ovo je značajno za buduću evropsku perspektivu Srbije, kao i za njenu ulazu u regionalnu i globalnu politiku.
