On this occasion the commissioner Rodoljub Šabić has stated:

„Ambassador Ljoveras has in these talks, confirmed interest of EU for faster approach of Serbia to the Union and its readiness to assist us in that.

We have agreed accordingly, that the adjusting of our legal system to that of the EU represents an extensive and complex undertaking, the realization of which, demands from our government authority outstanding responsibility, as the introduction of many new laws is not sufficient enough by itself, and that it is of utmost importance to secure the application of new laws by establishing institutions and engaging people capable of doing that. Achieving newly adopted standards in practice, in reality is a true measure of our approaching the EU.

In accordance with that, emphasizing the importance of free access to information in accomplishing many other freedoms and a right for fights against abuse, ambassador Ljoveras has shown a great interest for activities and results of the service of the Commissioner for information, and his readiness to offer assistance and support..“
