Vučić: Serbia on EU Path, Judicial and Electoral Laws to Reach Parliament Soon

N1 Serbia reports on President Aleksandar Vučić's recent statements regarding Serbia's strategic direction and domestic priorities. Vučić reiterated Serbia's unwavering commitment to the European Union accession process, signaling an imminent parliamentary debate on crucial legislation concerning judicial reforms and electoral practices.

“

We are on the European path. I expect parliament to soon receive the legislation regarding judicial reforms, as envisioned by the Venice Commission, as well as the implementation of ODIHR recommendations for free and fair elections. We will do our part.

President Vučić highlighted the government's proactive approach to navigating complex geopolitical currents and safeguarding the nation's economic well-being. He pointed to Serbia's relatively low inflation rate as a testament to the authorities' efforts in mitigating the impact of global economic volatility on its citizens. This focus on economic stability is paramount as Serbia strives to maintain its independent stance on the international stage.

“

I think it is clear even to them which side is stronger, in other words, which side enjoys more support from the people of Serbia.

Addressing the delicate geopolitical landscape, Vučić acknowledged that Serbia's independent policy often draws criticism. However, he framed this as validation of the country's correct and sovereign approach. The President emphasized that Serbia's primary commitment is to peace and stability, a promise he stands by amidst an uncertain global climate. His remarks, made following a meeting with Swiss President Guy Parmelin, underscore Serbia's dedication to both its European aspirations and its national interests.

I fear things will only get more difficult. Even a strong nation like Switzerland has seen that once war breaks out in Ukraine, it is impossible to act in a way that avoids upsetting someone.
