Serbia has complied with two new foreign policy decisions of the European Union (EU) regarding Sudan and Guatemala, but is again the only candidate country for EU membership from the Western Balkans that has not complied with the new EU decision regarding North Korea.

As announced by the EU, Serbia has not complied with the decision adopted by the EU Council on 16 December (CFSP) 2024/3151 regarding the extension of restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea due to its ballistic missile activities.

All other candidate countries for EU membership from the Western Balkans region, except Serbia - North Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina - have aligned with the aforementioned new decision of the Council of the EU, which will ensure that their national policies are in line with it, and the EU " takes note of this commitment and welcomes it," the statement said.

Together with other candidates from the Western Balkans, Serbia has aligned itself with two EU Council decisions of December 16 - (CFSP) 2024/3154 concerning restrictive measures in view of activities undermining the stability and political transition of Sudan and (CFSP) 2024/3198 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Guatemala, according to statements from Brussels.
