The meeting was primarily focused on an equal relationship and even representation of the academic community outside of Serbia. The prime minister emphasized the need to harmonize the representation of the academic community, stressing that any activity on its behalf requires a harmonized platform by all representatives in Serbia, in order to avoid further politicization and polarization.

Macut assessed that this approach is crucial and necessary to preserve the hard-won stability in the academic community after the period in 2025 when the work of all state academic institutions was blocked.

The need to raise the level of the culture of the media dialogue, as well as to reduce tension in the public space, was also highlighted during the meeting.

The steps taken in the implementation of the Reform Agenda, to which the Government of the Republic of Serbia is fully committed, were considered and analyzed, with the aim of achieving the set goals, despite the fact that some are not defined in the most realistic way.

The prime minister thanked the head of the EU delegation for responding to the urgent invitation, and said that the talks with representatives of the EU delegation to Serbia, as well as with officials of the European Commission, will continue at the regular level, since continuous dialogue is crucial for solving open issues and making further progress in all areas.
