"EU integrations could be merged with Foreign Affairs"

It would allow a new cabinet to have the same number of ministries but one less minister - "as Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has announced."

Similar solutions are already present in the region: Croatia has the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, while Montenegro has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integrations.

Center for Foreign Policy NGO Director Aleksandra Joksimovic told the daily that "not all countries moving toward EU membership have solved the issue of the European department in a uniformed manner" - and that there are two possible solutions.

One is a separate ministry, and another a merging with the MFA, she explained.

"Both yield results. We are entering a phase of integrations where the manner in which they will be accompanied institutionally is very important, but also when integrations will permeate the entire administration," Joksimovic said.

According to her, in some cases the two government departments are merged because of "personnel" reasons.
