As of today, Serbian banks are part of SEPA, the same payment system used across all EU countries. If appropriately followed by the banks, this can lead to faster transfers, lower fees, same rules. In other countries that recently joined, fees dropped up to 10x. This is what the EU's Growth Plan looks like in practice: integration you can feel in your wallet.

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Transaction fees have long made euro payments between Serbia and the EU more costly.

For families sending money abroad, workers receiving their salaries or companies trading across borders.

Today, Serbia joins Single Euro Payments (SEPA), making payments faster and cheaper, with potential savings of up to €400 million.

Une humanitaire française de l’UNICEF a été tuée à Goma. À sa famille, à ses proches, à ses collègues, j’adresse le soutien et l’émotion de la Nation.

J'appelle au respect du droit humanitaire et des personnels qui sont sur place et qui s’engagent pour sauver des vies.

One year ago, the Novi Sad train station collapse took 16 lives.

We remember them today.

This tragedy is changing Serbia.

It moved masses to stand for accountability, free expression and inclusive democracy.

They are the same values to lead Serbia into the EU.

Today, we took the decision to lift our economic sanctions on Syria.

We want to help the Syrian people rebuild a new, inclusive and peaceful Syria.

The EU has always stood by Syrians throughout the last 14 years - and will keep doing so.

Through this letter, I want to respond to the many concerns I received from #Serbia.

I have been closely following the situation.

My key message: Serbia's European agenda offers solutions to many of the issues that are at the heart of discussions today. It is important that the conditions are established for an inclusive dialogue involving all stakeholders, political actors, institutions and members of civil society to address reforms that are necessary for the European future of Serbia. This is a shared responsibility of all parties involved.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve.

The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding women’s responsibilities for home and family.

Today, the #IstanbulConvention enters into force for our Union.

It aims to protect women from violence, and to prevent, prosecute, and eliminate it.

We will only live in a truly fair and equal Union when women and girls no longer live in fear of violence.
