BELGRADE - The head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret said on Wednesday Serbia had seen great benefits from trade with the EU and noted that the country's exports to the EU had risen by almost six times in 12 years.

"The value of Serbia's annual exports to the EU has risen from almost 3.2 bln euros in 2009 to slightly less than 18 bln euros in 2022," Giaufret said.

According to a statement released by the EU Info Network, goods trade between Serbia and the EU has been growing steadily for years, reaching almost 40 bln euros in 2022.

Traditionally, the EU is Serbia's key trade partner, accounting for 58.7 pct of the country's total external trade in 2022.
