Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)The new European Parliament rapporteur for Serbia Vladimir Bilcik said the European Council's decision not to approve the opening of accession talks with Albania and Northern Macedonia is a historic mistake, but it does not directly influence Serbia's path to the EU, the most important aspects of which is dialogue with Kosovo. [...]
Such a decision by the European Council is a historic mistake, I hope we still have time to correct it. It is important to send a reliable signal to all our partners in the region, including Serbia, that the EU is serious about enlargement. That Council decision does not directly affect Serbia's path to the EU, the most important aspects of which are in dialogue, internal reforms, chapters 23 and 24 and other criteria that must be met, “said Bilcik for RT Vojvodina.
He said the European Council's decision “polically was not a good signal for enlargement” and that it “hopes that it could reconsider” and that the EU “will be able to provide Albania and northern Macedonia with an accession perspective”.
