Serbian Foreign Ministry's Foreign Policy Council President Sonja Liht said on Thursday she believed Serbia would get the EU candidate status. She said that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's statements during her recent visit to Belgrade constituted a list of wishes, some of which could be fulfilled, while others required serious discussion. Council head confident about EU candidate status After Merkel's visit on Wednesday, Liht still believes Serbia will get the EU candidate status. She stated it mostly depended on the European Commission's report, due in October, and on Serbia itself, adding that the country had done a lot towards that goal. "Merkel's statements from yesterday are a list of wishes, of which some could be fulfilled, while others must be discussed seriously," she noted, adding that Serbia obviously had a very difficult problem with dismantling parallel institutions in Kosovo, which was among Merkel's statements. Liht told B92 it was important for Serbia to raise the issue of Serb rights, not only in the north, but in the entire Kosovo. "We must continue to communicate and do it much more intensively, both with Germany and the rest of the EU. It is a requirement for them to understand our views," she pointed out.
