Bregu thanks Serbian gov't for supporting RCC

BELGRADE - Serbian First Deputy PM and FM Ivica Dacic met on Thursday in Belgrade with Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) Secretary General Majlinda Bregu, who thanked the Serbian government for supporting the work of the RCC.

According to an official statement released by the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bregu especially noted the significance of three agreements signed with RCC assistance at a Berlin Process summit on November 3, and said she hoped their ratification by Serbia would be completed soon and that they would be fully implemented by October, when the next Berlin Process summit will be held in Tirana.

The ministry noted that the agreements enabled travel within the region with ID cards only and recognition of university degrees as well as licences held by doctors of medicine, dentists and architects.

Dacic said regional cooperation was a foreign policy priority for Serbia and that, as in the past, Belgrade would remain a sincere and constructive partner to the RCC.

He expressed support to Bregu and the work of the RCC and noted that Serbia highly appreciated the RCC's cooperation with the EU and believed cooperation in the context of EU integration needed to remain a key factor of political activities and an objective of the RCC.
