We should join EU as functional state - minister
"Our goal is EU membership as a functional state, which is not only seeking benefits from EU membership, but also wants to contribute to a better future for the EU as a whole," Joksimovic told Tanjug after the meeting of foreign ministers of the Visegrad Group (V4) and representatives of the governments of Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Slovenia and Croatia."For Serbia, the enlargement process would have to be predictable, sustainable, clear, in relation to clear criteria and not just a race with the number of open (EU accession negotiations) chapters," Joksimovic said, but underlined that this number is extremely important at this stage "because there is no way that is more tangible than the number of open chapters to show progress to Serbian citizens."
"But for this map of association, the road map, to be predictable and based on clear criteria of each individual state that joins this process. In the future, with the responsibility of our policy and the contribution that Serbia has as a candidate country, I think we will justify our presence at such meetings," she said.
