The EU has planned to give candidate status for Serbia, Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2009, and only begin membership negotiations in 2010. They are planned to end by 2012 and then these four countries are scheduled to join in 2015.
Macedonia and (unfortunately), Turkey are also planned to conclude their membership negotiations in 2012 (due to their poor progress) and join together with the rest in 2015, perhaps even Kosovo, if the issue is solved by then.
The reason for this is:
a) To prepare Europe to take this new batch of countries, considering its current saturation levels, especially after Romania and Bulgaria.
b) To make sure that these countries have complied with all the requirements, which at the moment, neither are even close to them on many levels.
c) Looking at the political and social relations between these countries, veto threats can be eliminated by accepting all the countries in at once.
Only Croatia has made big steps, which is why membership negotiations will end next year and they will become a full member in 2010, but they are classified in a different category from those mentioned.
So to conclude: if Serbia's government pushes for a pro-EU agenda, exceptions will be made for them, like other countries have had before.
