Press release, 8 November 2021

The delegation comes to Lithuania at the invitation of Laima Andrikienė, Head of the Seimas Group for Inter-Parliamentary Relations with the Western Balkan Countries.

 

‘The Western Balkans is a region of strategic importance to the European Union as a whole and also to Lithuania. Serbia and Montenegro have already entered negotiations with the EU, while two more countries — North Macedonia and Albania — have been waiting for several years to begin the negotiations. Apart from contributing to the European integration of the Western Balkans, sharing our negotiations experience and providing expert support, our mission is also to significantly encourage the consolidation of the area of peace, stability, security, democracy, and the rule of law in this strategically important European region,’ noted Ms Andrikienė, Deputy Chair of the Seimas Committee on European Affairs and Member of the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrat Political Group. 

 

The Serbian delegation, due to come on Tuesday, will meet with members of the Seimas Committees on Foreign Affairs and on European Affairs, visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and participate in the Conference Western Balkan Countries on the Road to the European Union to be held at the Seimas on Friday.

 

In September 2021, Serbia and North Macedonia received a delegation of members of the Seimas Group for Inter-Parliamentary Relations with the Western Balkan Countries, led by Audronius Ažubalis, MP, Member of the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrat Political Group.
