Fifth Sitting of the European Integration Committee

At the sitting held on 23 December, the members of the European Integration Committee considered the Report on the Republic of Serbia EU accession negotiations during Croatia’s Presidency-in-Office (January – June 2020).


The Report was presented by Jugoslav Milacic, advisor to the Minister for European Integration and member of the negotiating team for accession negotiations of the Republic of Serbia to the European Union.

Milacic said that the period was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, state of emergency and the parliamentary elections which had an impact on the operation of the administration and the preparation of negotiations documents. Despite it all, the Ministry for European Integration and the negotiating team put in an extra effort to maintain the level of the negotiating process in the period, Milacic stressed.

He said that in the reporting period, in February, a new methodology of accession negotiations officially appeared, introducing a cluster approach to negotiations, and added that the relevant ministry was preparing a comprehensive reorganisation of the negotiating structure, in accordance with the new methodology.

Following the detailed presentation, the Committee members unanimously proposed that the National Assembly accept the Report on the Republic of Serbia EU accession negotiations during Croatia’s Presidency-in-Office (January – June 2020).
