Deeply saddened by the crash of a #EUFOR helicopter in Brčko. Our thoughts are with the families and fellow soldiers of the four Italian servicemen who lost their lives. We stand in solidarity with Italy and EUFOR in this difficult hour.
U dubokoj sam žalosti nakon pada #EUFOR-ovog helikoptera u Brčkom. Moje misli su uz porodice i drugove četvorice talijanskih vojnika koji su izgubili živote. U ovim teškim trenucima stojimo uz Italiju🇮🇹 i EUFOR🇪🇺.

Parlamentarni izbori u Srbiji su jasno odlučeni. Čestitamo Studentskoj listi! Svojim zalaganjem za vladavinu prava, borbu protiv korupcije i za osnovne slobode ona je uspela da dopre do ljudi. Angažovano ćemo podržavati evropski put Srbije.

Die EU muss wachsen, wenn sie ihre Souveränität behaupten und als Machtfaktor in der Welt wahrgenommen werden will. Der Westliche Balkan und Europa wachsen enger zusammen. Montenegro ist auf dem besten Weg, der EU beizutreten, andere müssen und werden folgen.

Starting #EUCO day 2, joined by President @ZelenskyyUa. Our resolve to stand by Ukraine and its people was there from Day 1 of Russia’s invasion. We have delivered on that commitment ever since - politically, financially and militarily. Now is the time to maintain our support for Ukraine, to increase the pressure on Russia and to make progress on Ukraine’s accession path.

Finishing the day with a strategic debate on EU enlargement and internal reforms. This week we had intergovernmental conferences with Montenegro, Ukraine, Moldova and Albania. Driven by the reforms, the accession process is making progress. At the same time, we must get ready to welcome new members in the EU family.
