“So Serbia and Montenegro took a deadline, which is what President Vucic asked for during his recent visit to Brussels”, Minic told “Danas”, adding that the European Council in the next 16 months has begun to develop “The strategy for successful EU accession of Serbia and Montenegro as the most advanced candidates in the Western Balkans, with particular emphasis on rule of law, fundamental rights and the fight against corruption and stability in the region”.

Minic explains that the tasks and measures of a common foreign and security policy, as well as joint defence and security policies, have a high place, in line with the challenges listed in the future and are considered seriously high by the EU door.

“This means that Serbia and Montenegro have the chance to prepare well for the next eight years to join the EU and thus invite others in the region to participate fully in the most important European project”, Minic said.
