The President of the EU General Affairs and External Relations Council, Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel had a meeting with the Serbian Foreign Minister, Vuk Jeremić, on the margins of the Council meeting in Brussels. Dr Rupel congratulated Jeremić on the victory of the pro-European forces in the recent Serbia elections and expressed the hope of the European Union that Serbia would form a government at the earliest possible opportunity. The Slovenian Foreign Ministers assessed the plans on the government outlined by the Serbian Foreign Minister as realistic. “It is particularly important that a pro-European government be established in Serbia”, said Dr Rupel, judging that such a government could significantly contribute to Serbia’s integration into the European Union.
