(AGENPARL) – BRUXELLES mer 03 maggio 2023 Serbia, with a population of 6.9 million, has been advancing towards EU accession since 2012, when it received candidate country status. Despite some progress, Serbia still has three major hurdles to overcome: improving internal political dialogue and reforms, reaching a comprehensive normalisation agreement with Kosovo,* and ensuring better alignment with EU foreign policy. In 2022, although Serbia voted for Russia’s suspension from the UN Human Rights Council, it has not applied any of the EU’s sanctions on Russia. In April 2022, Aleksandar Vučić was elected for a second term as President, with a clear majority of 58 %, and the Serbian Progressive Party coalition, led by Vučić, won 120 out of 250 seats in the Serbian Parliament. The Parliament’s position on the European Commission’s 2022 annual report on Serbia is due to be voted in plenary in May 2023.
