Dr Vladimir Orlic with French National Assembly Members

The Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Dr Vladimir Orlic met today with the members of the National Assembly of the Republic of France, Liliana Tanguy and Pierre-Henri Dumont, to discuss parliamentary and overall cooperation, as well as Serbia's European path.

Dr Orlic opined that the bilateral relations between the two countries are following an upward trajectory and that the dynamic political dialogue at all levels contributes to their constant improvement, as reflected in the regular meetings between the presidents of the Republic of France and the Republic of Serbia, Emmanuel Macron and Aleksandar Vucic, and the cooperation between the two governments and two national parliaments.

The members of the National Assembly of the Republic of France said they consider Serbia to be the key country in the Western Balkans, which is why they are starting their visit to the region, aimed at compiling a report on the state-of-play of accession negotiations with the EU, with talks in Belgrade.

The National Assembly Speaker thanked France for supporting Serbia's European path, pointing to the significant progress our country has made in numerous areas. He said that he expects Serbia's progress to be formally valorised, although it is clear that Kosovo-Metohija has a special impact on the issue. He informed the French MPs in detail about the difficult situation in Kosovo-Metohija, caused by Albin Kurti’s dangerous moves. "It is unequivocally clear today that Kurti is trying to lead to an escalation, even to those who have shown understanding for Pristina at every opportunity. It is important for us that everyone who calls for de-escalation understands what the right way to achieve it is - it is the withdrawal of the fake mayors and Kurti's armed gangs from the north of Kosovo-Metohija, end to the persecution of the Serbian people, release of captured Serbs and finally the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities, as was signed many years ago," said Dr Orlic. The members of the French Parliament thanked the National Assembly Speaker for the detailed and factual overview of the situation. "We are aware of the situation and are following it. And, as our President Macron said, the implementation of the signed agreements is vital," said MP Dumont.

In the course of the meeting, the officials also discussed the economic cooperation between the two countries and the importance of the capital infrastructure projects Serbia is implementing with French partners. MP Tanguy confirmed the readiness of the National Assembly of the Republic of France to cooperate with the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, using the opportunity to congratulate Belgrade on being chosen as the host of the international specialised exhibition EXPO 2027. The MPs were also interested in the details of Serbia's progress in the European integration process, as well as the National Assembly's contributions to it.
