Today, possibly for the largest Euro-fanatics, it is clear that the recent French European Affairs Minister Natalie Loisau's message to Brussels' inability to support further EU enlargement was not just a simple statement.
In the specific question “you are for Serbia's EU accession”, from the carriers of 12 political parties in France competing for the new European Parliament, which is elected on May 26th, even nine voted against.
The debate conducted under the pre-election campaign on French 2 national television showed that by 2025 alone the Socialist Party candidate, as well as a representative of the centrist party, the Union of Democrats and Independents see Serbia in the EU, until another list holder abstained.
The ruling party candidate Loisau reiterated what she said when she visited Belgrade a month and a half ago that we cultivate false hopes. When Such an Attitude Comes From Candidates for The EP from France, the second in power in the EU, whose president Emmanuel Macron since being elected has not left Chancellor Angela Merkel responsible for leading the Union, with additional weight.
According to Serbian media, this is a clear signal that the new composition of the European Parliament will be even more unfavourable for Serbia in terms of enlargement, as there will be increased Eurosceptics expressing themselves against EU enlargement. Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vladislav Jovanovic says Serbia must be determined according to the circumstances to occur, not before the expectations of new members of the European Parliament. “Whatever parliament is, we will all be asked for practical submission to recognise Kosovo.
Without that, we are unable to enter, and we must know that this is an absolute condition and we do not expect any blessings from heaven and a good surprise “, Jovanovic says.
He stresses that until Serbia explains its report to Kosovo and agrees with Western conditions, official Belgrade will be far from the EU. In this case, Jovanovic says Serbia must accept what is required -- the practical recognition of Kosovo.
