The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, met today with the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The focus of the talks was on current issues in relations between Serbia and the EU, including reform obligations, the strengthening of the rule of law and institutions, investments, better connectivity through infrastructure, and energy security and transition.
"We also discussed how to accelerate economic convergence and open up additional development opportunities for the economy and young people through European instruments and the Growth Plan for the Western Balkans. I particularly underlined that, at a time of growing divisions, it is important for Serbia to preserve the spirit of dialogue in the region and in Europe, as this is the only sustainable path to resolving open issues, preserving peace, and creating conditions for long-term progress," the President said after the meeting.
During the day, Vučić is expected to hold numerous bilateral meetings with world officials and will also attend an address by US President Donald Trump. Numerous panels and speeches by world officials are also scheduled at the Congress Centre in Davos, with the greatest attention focused on the announced address by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, which is planned for the afternoon hours. According to the official agenda, in addition to Trump, the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, and the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, will also speak today.
