Our delegation has been acquainted with current international military cooperation activities and France’s foreign policy priorities in the coming period, with an emphasis on the upcoming French Presidency of the Council of the European Union, but also on current activities concerning bilateral and multilateral cooperation with Serbia and the Western Balkans as part of the European and Euro-Atlantic integration processes.
