Macron to visit Serbia for talks on AI and economic ties
The visit follows a recent EU-Serbia agreement granting the EU access to Serbia’s raw materials.
French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Serbia from 29 August to 30 to discuss enhancing economic relations and Serbia’s emerging role in the AI sector. During the visit, Macron will meet with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to explore opportunities for collaboration, particularly as Serbia prepares to chair the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence in 2025.
This initiative, established by Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, aims to ensure the responsible development of AI. The trip follows a recent agreement between Serbia and the European Union, which grants the EU access to raw materials from Serbia.
Macron’s visit will also align with France’s plans to host an AI Action Summit in 2025, underscoring the growing importance of AI in international relations and economic partnerships.
