French President Emmanuel Macron met his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vučić in Paris on Wednesday for a discreet working lunch, at a time when Vučic is facing mounting political pressure at home.

The Élysée initially offered no official communication about the meeting, including which topics were discussed.

But hours later, Macron took to social media platform X to share key takeaways from their “long exchange.”

“I first reiterated the importance that France attaches to the democratic and European destiny of Serbia,” Macron posted.

    Many Serbian students feel they haven’t received enough support from the European Union, despite garnering huge support at home.

    Huh, Serbian people don’t feel support from the EU? That’s weird, doesn’t the EU like it when the people from a country want more democracy? I don’t get it.

    Despite the political turbulence, France has big economic interests in Serbia.

    O, nevermind. I get it.
