Ambassador Giaufret Presented the Letter of Credence to President of Serbia

Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret presented to President Aleksandar Vucic the letter of credence by which the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen have appointed him as the new Head of the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Serbia. On this occasion, Ambassador Giaufret said: “It is an honour for me to serve as an Ambassador of the EU to Serbia. Serbia is a very important country for the European Union, and similarly we know the EU is very important to Serbia, as its main trade partner, investor and donor, giving further stimulus to the country’s development. We have an extraordinary agenda here, which is shared by all EU member States and Serbia: to make Serbia a new member of the EU. There is certainly hard work ahead of the country, and I will dedicate my whole mandate to support Serbian institutions and society to reach this objective.  I am a true believer in the European project and I know that Serbia’s accession is will be a good thing for everyone in Europe. We are much stronger when we work together and this is something that benefits all citizens. I have now settled with my family here and we are looking forward discovering Serbia and its people.”
