Serbia has made progress on the European path, particularly as regards chapter 23. This is a general assessment of compliance with chapter 23 Action Plan requirements from the report made by national authorities in charge of its implementation.

“At the end of the last trimester, we can say that we have undertook some 71 percent of activities foreseen for 2016 and that we have had the best results within subchapter Fundamental Rights (89%). With regard to fight against corruption, however, the success rate was lower,” Kuburovic said.
