Vesna Marković Statement

I would rate the visit of the multiparty Parliamentary Delegation of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia to be of high quality, precisely for the reason that we had open and constructive, very important conversations with NATO officials. Otherwise, relations between Serbia and NATO are at a much higher level, especially from 2015 on, since the adoption of the IPAP (Individual Partnership Action Plan), as Serbia has the highest level of cooperation as a non-member country with the NATO Alliance. Otherwise, I think that this kind of cooperation can be improved, since there is always space, and of course these kinds of visits and parliamentary meetings with NATO officials do help, because as MP’s we really need to get acquainted with the way NATO works ....

I would rate the visit of the multiparty Parliamentary delegation of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia as very important, first of all, because we had the opportunity to get acquainted with the way the Alliance works and to find out much more from NATO officials about some future plans that are extremely important to us. Otherwise, relations between Serbia and NATO are at a much higher level, starting from 2015 when we adopted the IPAP (Individual Partnership Action Plan), which means that Serbia has the highest level of cooperation even though it is not a NATO member state. This cooperation is most important to us primarily because of cooperation with KFOR, for the protection of the Serb population in Kosovo and Metohija, and above all for the freedom of their movement, for the protection of our religious sites. In the forthcoming period, I also expect greater involvement from KFOR when it comes to securing freedom of movement for the Serb population.
