Summary/Abstract: The topic of Serbia’s foreign policy alignment with the European Union (EU) is one of the politically most challenging aspects of Serbia’s negotiations with the Union. The Union defines its foreign policy course based on decisions taken by the European Council which sets the long-term course, but also on decisions taken by the Council of the European Union (Council’s foreign policy format composed of foreign ministers of EU member states). The decisions of the Council of the European Union are made public through foreign policy declarations issued on behalf of the EU by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. EU foreign policy declarations can either be announcements of position concerning a certain international situation or event and/ or announcements of measures that the EU adopts targeting certain countries, individuals or entities. Such declarations normally require alignment of partner countries (candidate countries, potential candidate countries, countries in the Eastern Partnership Programme and member countries of the European Economic Area).
