On June 7, Ambassador Marina Jovićević had a meeting with the President of the Parliament of the Brussels Region, Mr. Rachid Madrane. A special topic was dedicated to the fight against Covid-19, in terms of a balanced approach of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, aimed at maintaining economic flows on the one hand and preserving public health on the other. The President of the Parliament of the Brussels Region was informed about the vaccination procedure in the Republic of Serbia, where, so far, over 3.5 million doses of vaccines against Covid-19 have been given, both to the citizens of the Republic of Serbia and others from our region. The ambassador also informed about the good economic results of Serbia achieved in the economically challenging period of the world pandemic.

The process of European integration of Serbia and the challenges on that path, as well as the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, were also discussed. Our readiness to continue the dialogue, under the auspices of the EU, as soon as possible, in order to reach a compromise solution, was emphasized.

Both sides pointed out the importance of parliamentary cooperation between the two countries, and agreed to organize a meeting of deputies of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, members of the Friendship Group with Belgium, with representatives of the Brussels Region Parliament, during the next visit of members of Friendship Group with Belgium to Brussels.
