Fajon and Gojkovic, who met on the eve of the 11th meeting of the EU-Serbia Parliamentary Committee for Stabilization and Association, to be held in the Serbian parliament on Wednesday and Thursday, discussed Serbia's European integration, as well as current issues regarding the work of the National Assembly.
