BELGRADE President Tomislav Nikolic has said that Serbia "has done much over the past year's time," adding that it should "no longer be subject to any pressures." The country "rightfully expects to get a date for the start of accession talks with the EU," Nikolic said during his meeting in Belgrade on Thursday with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. "Serbia should not be subjected to pressures" According to Tanjug, Hague "gave Nikolic assurances that London will support Serbia's efforts." "We have to show that we are doing our best for the well-being of the Serb community in Kosovo and Metohija,"President Nikolic said during. According to Nikolic, the Serbs should be deciding for themselves about their own security, income, education, health both in the north and south of the province. As much as we consider it important to get the date, we will not do anything in the last moment, or under pressure, as was the case until now, the Serbian president's press office cited Nikolic as saying. Hague "congratulated the Serbian president and senior government officials on the progress made and on the firm and decisive leadership shown so far, giving Serbia assurances that the United Kingdom will support the recommendation to give Serbia the date to open the EU accession talks," Tanjug reported. Regarding the implementation of the agreement between Belgrade and Pristina, Hague "expressed the expectation that a sustainable and constructive progress will show soon." "I am here to encourage you on your European path and to convey the spirit of support, which my German colleague Guido Westerwelle had already done," said Hague. Nikolic said that Serbia should no longer be subject to any pressure, "because it has shown that it is willing to resolve all problems through dialogue and became a guarantor of peace and stability in the region." The Serbian president pointed to "the historical alliance of the two countries" and expressed regret that it has been undermined in recent history. "The United Kingdom is a very important partner to Serbia, and we want to deepen and improve the bilateral relations in all areas," Nikolic said. (Tanjug) Tanjug
