The Working Group of the National Convention on the European Union (NCEU) for Chapter 20 – Enterprise and Industrial Policy held a meeting to discuss the current status of negotiations, the implementation of key reforms, and the next steps in Serbia’s EU integration in this area.

Special focus was placed on the implementation of the new Law on the Management of State-Owned Enterprises, the implementation of the SME Strategy 2023–2027, and Serbia’s inclusion in EU support programs for small and medium-sized enterprises.
