Serbia’s Minister without portfolio responsible for European integration Jadranka Joksimovic underlined during the talks with Finnish Ambassador to Serbia Pekka Orpana that at this moment Serbia is finishing the negotiating position for Chapter 32 which deals with financial control. She said that Chapter 32 is important because Serbia wants to achieve the highest degree possible of budgetary discipline and the control of spending of taxpayers money, which is especially important in the context of economic reforms that the Serbian government had promised to citizens.
