The agreement will definitely be followed by more such documents, Fule stated in his opening address. Head of the Serbian team for the accession talks Tanja Miscevic will also speak at the event. There are no shortcuts on the enlargement path, because that would not be of help to either the EU or the candidates, Fule pointed out.
