Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic said on July 8 that one of the biggest achievements of his cabinet in the past year was the visa liberalization due to come into force early next year.

Cvetkovic told a news conference on the occasion of the government's first anniversary that, in direct talks with Dutch officials, the cabinet would aim to enable the unfreezing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement.

He went on to say that other achievements in the past 12 months included a stabilized state financial system and dinar exchange rate and the halted decline of industrial production in March.

As far as the battle against crime and corruption are concerned, Cvetkovic said laws on judicial reform and the Anti-Corruption Agency had been passed, along with the law on the confiscation of criminally acquired property, adding that the crime rate had been reduced in the past year, with 3,700 cases of corruption processed in court.
