Chapters 14 and 21 can be opened soon

"Based on the screening reports for Chapter 14, Transport policy and 21, Trans-European networks, Serbia received an invitation from the EU presidency holder to open the two negotiation chapters. Preparations for the negotiating positions on these two chapters have already begun, based on the decision," Transport Minister Zorana Mihajlovic told Tanjug.

Mihajlovic added that this "also represents a recognition for the ministry which she heads."

"The introduction of European standards in the field of transport and transport networks means that Serbia will have roads, railways and water transport precisely like other EU countries. The final benefit from the negotiations with the EU will be felt by citizens of Serbia, who will eventually get much better and safer traffic, there will be healthy competition in this area so that citizens are able to choose to which transport operator to entrust their trust and money," said Mihajlovic.

Mihajlovic, who is also a deputy PM, said that establishing European standards in Serbia and creating a better work and living environment was the goal of the government.
