Renewed the full Italian support for Serbia’s accession to the EU, in the belief that Belgrade is an important partner for stability and continental security”. So on X the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, on his visit to Serbia.

It has been reiterated that any destabilization in the Western Balkans or in the Middle East produces direct effects on the security of the European continent, on energy stability and global trade flows.
