Alignment with EU foreign policy declarations by other countries During the first half of 2025, Serbia's alignment with EU declarations remained among the lowest compared to other candidate and partner countries, standing at 52 percent(excluding Türkiye, and Georgia, which has the same alignment percentage as Serbia). In contrast, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania continued their trend of full alignment, each achieving 100 percent. The new candidates, Ukraine and Moldova, reached 98 and 89 percent alignment, respectively. Only Türkiye remained at the bottom of the alignment scale, scoring just 3 percent. Partner countries belonging to the European Economic Area(EEA) all achieved alignment rates above 80 percent, while Georgia matched Serbia at 52 percent. Among countries in the EU's Eastern Partnership initiative, Armenia — affected by its deteriorating relationship with Russia, the recent conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, and pressure from Azerbaijan — increased its alignment rate to 34 percent, up from 30 percent the previous year. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, did not align with any declarations during this period.
