“How to succeed in the EU accession process: best practices, strategic planning and effective implementation” was the topic of the two-day meeting in Belgrade. This is the first meeting of the main negotiators and negotiating structures of the Western Balkan countries, but also of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. The EU Ambassador to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret thanked the Ministry of European Integration for initiating the idea of organizing such a meeting in Belgrade, with the help of the TAIEX mechanism of the European Commission. “I am extremely pleased to see the motivation and optimism of the candidate countries to cooperate and exchange experiences. Only through joint work can we build a common European future. I believe that this seminar has produced new ideas and opportunities for future cooperation between countries on their path to the EU”, said Ambassador Giaufret.
