A delegation of the European Parliament (EP) will visit Belgrade on January 23 to discuss Serbia’s ongoing efforts in the European Union accession process, according to a statement published on the website of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.
The delegation will be led by Marta Temido, a Member of the European Parliament from the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group. During the visit, EP lawmakers will hold meetings with representatives of the Serbian Parliament and Government to assess progress in the accession talks and to discuss additional reforms required to advance the process.
In addition to meetings with state officials, the delegation is scheduled to meet with media representatives, civil society organizations, think tanks, members of the academic community, and students.
According to the announcement, EP members will raise issues highlighted in:
- the European Parliament resolution of May 7, 2025,
- the European Commission’s Serbia reports for 2023 and 2024, and
- the European Parliament resolution of October 22, 2025, which addresses political polarization and increased repression in Serbia, one year after the Novi Sad tragedy.
The visit will conclude with a press conference.
Alongside Temido, the delegation includes Rasa Juknevičienė, Reinhold Lopatka, and Davor Ivo Stier from the European People’s Party, Tonino Picula from the Socialists and Democrats, Șerban-Dimitrie Sturdza from the European Conservatives and Reformists, Helmut Brandstätter from Renew Europe, Vladimir Prebilič from the Greens, and Petr Bystroň representing the Europe of Sovereign Nations group.
