In the second meeting of the Working Group for Cooperation with the OIF in Belgrade, Selakovic said that progress should be made to improve French language learning, especially in primary schools, he added.

Selakovic said that it was "essential" that Belgrade's efforts so far were noticed by the Association of Francophone Universities (AUF), which he said "recognised Serbia as a regional leader in that field," the statement said.

He added that the AUF decided to open a regional office in Belgrade, which would also cover Croatia, BiH, Slovenia and Northern Macedonia.
