National Assembly Speaker at US Congressional Serbian Caucus

The Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, Prof. Dr Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic, currently in visit to the US, addressed the members of the Serbian Caucus. She briefed them on Serbia’s activities aimed at EU accession which is one of its strategic foreign policy goals.


In that context, Djukic-Dejanovic said that the National Assembly is hard at work on adopting pro-European and systemic laws which received positive marks in the European Commission’s report recommending that Serbia be granted candidacy in December. The National Assembly also passed the laws and other documents necessary for the implementation of Governmental decisions aimed at overcoming the negative effects of the global financial crisis and creating an environment conducive to investment. Djukic-Dejanovic also added that 160 US companies do business in Serbia, while the American Chamber of Commerce is also very active in the country and recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.

 

The National Assembly Speaker stressed that in the Kosovo-Metohija matter, Belgrade is firmly committed to dialogue which should provide the basis for a lasting solution.

 

Djukic-Dejanovic met separately with Congressman Dan Burton, co-chair of the Serbian Caucus, as well as Congressmen Pete Vicklosky and Cynthia Lummis. American Congressman and co-chair of the Serbian Caucus Dan Burton announced a visit by a Congressional delegation to the Balkans on 5 November in the course of which the congressmen would visit Belgrade, Pristina, Podgorica, Zagreb and Sarajevo.
