The main topic of the second dialogue with the EU National Convention, held on March 29 through video link, was the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within economic and social indicators and protection of health conditions.
Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, who took part in the meeting, announced the establishment of a cross-sector group which will deal with SDGs envisaged by the UN 2030 Agenda. At the meeting it was underlined that systematic planning had to begin. Adjusting the goals to our conditions and harmonization with the EU integration process are the most important for us. SDGs are formulated in general terms and each country needs to adjust those goals to its own priorities.
Having in mind that nearly half a million people live below the absolute poverty line and the population older than 65, including those in rural areas, are particularly hard hit by poverty, we need to prioritize the following: world without poverty, famine, quality education and gender equality. That is why it is necessary to urgently make the strategy for the reduction of poverty. Besides the activities at the national level, activities of the Government and relevant ministries, a significant role in realizing those goals is played by trade unions, civil society organizations and local communities because 67% of subgoals are realized at local level.
