Montenegro, Serbia full of EU members by 2025

Determining Croatia's borders with Serbia and Montenegro should be resolved by 2023 for Montenegro and Serbia so that these two can complete negotiations for EU membership and then become full members by the end of 2025.

Although Croatia has not been mentioned, it is in the draft European Commission's new strategy under the title "A Trustable Prospect of Enlargement of the Western Balkans," which says the EU does not want to import border conflicts between countries of the region.

This project, which the Croatian newspaper Jedoj list has secured, should be approved next year, as European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced, broadcasts news.

The strategy shows that there are indicative and clear deadlines for Montenegro and Serbia.

There are still significant bilateral disputes among countries in the region that remain to be resolved. The EU will not decide on such disputes. The permanent solution must be found before the country enters the EU”, the document says.

It has been claimed that all countries should engage unequivocally in words and deeds, overcome the legacy of the past, achieve reconciliation and resolve unresolved issues before their EU accession.

Bilateral dispute

Specifically, Diagram, who predicts the membership of Montenegro and Serbia in the EU by 2025, says that all border problems must be resolved before the negotiations are concluded because BAR The EU cannot import such problems.

In cases where border disputes have not been resolved, the parties are forced to address arbitration or the International Court of Justice before the end of membership negotiations and to fully respect judgment”, the document is said to be further in place.

It adds that there should be no quarrel over who to whom the Western Balkans are going and which direction EU membership is a matter of selecting the required political consensus. This is a clear message for Serbia, where the election issue between Serbia and Russia often raised.

Serbia-Kosovo relations

Important for Serbia is resolving relations with Kosovo through a legally binding document, which at the moment is said to be crucial to the stability of the entire region and the European perspective. According to the chart, by the end of 2019, Serbia and Montenegro should focus on meeting transitional criteria in the area of rule of law.

Serbia has up to 50 chapters and once their fulfillment is confirmed, The EU will determine the seizures for closing these chapters. In addition, by the end of the year Serbia must meet and overcome chapter 35 on which other issues are said, it is a condition for the full normalisation of relations with Kosovo, the news writes.net.

Serbia and Kosovo must achieve a full normalisation of relations to pave the way for further substantial progress in Kosovo on the road towards European integration according to the draft, stressing that the timetable for dialogue must be updated.

By 2019, Bosnia and Herzegovina will have to obtain candidate status, normally if it completes the process of sending an answer from the questionnaire and the Commission finish its work.

Albania if it meets the terms. And Macedonia if it closes the name issue with Greece in 2019 will have membership negotiations.

However, from the document it is clear that the indicator deadlines for the completion of the EU membership process have been clearly expressed only for Montenegro and Serbia, as these are leading this process, but the same project stresses that this perspective is open to all partners from the region. On purpose, the document does not say six states but out of partner (Kosovo), which five EU member states have not recognised.
