BACKGROUND

Serbia has been participating in NATO’s Partnership for Peace programme since 2006. The programme, launched in 1994, envisages bilateral cooperation between NATO and the countries which participate in it. It is oriented towards practical forms of cooperation in which countries opt for activities that are in keeping with their own priorities.

On 27 December 2007, Serbia adopted a resolution on protecting its sovereignty, territorial integrity and constitutional order, a statement which referred to Kosovo. One article of the resolution determines the military neutrality of Serbia "regarding existing military alliances, until the possible scheduling of a referendum for a final decision on this issue".

Tanja Miščević was a member of Serbia’s negotiating team for drawing up a Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the EU, and she was head of the negotiating team for an agreement on readmission and visa liberalisation between Serbia and the EU.

Miščević also works with the European Movement in Serbia, the most significant non-governmental organisation in the field of European integration.
