Serbian PM Aleksandar Vučić on Tuesday received European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc, highlighting the significance of transport projects for the development of Serbia and noting a commitment to establishing cooperation aimed at connecting the entire Western Balkans through a transport network.

Vucic said a motorway connecting Niš, Merdare, Pristina, Tirana and Durres was a priority, as were other projects agreed as part of the Berlin Process, the Serbian government press office said in a statement.

Cooperation in building regional transport infrastructure is one of the ways Serbia can demonstrate its commitment to peace and stability in the region, Vučić said.

Bulc said the agreed "connectivity agenda" was greatly important for bridging the development gap and supporting regional stability and progress.
