ZK,

Concerning Romanian workers in the EU, this is the situation:

Transitional arrangements have been agreed in the Accession Treaties of Bulgaria and Romania. They aim at gradually introducing free movement step-by-step over a seven-year period. Member States may open their labour markets at any stage. At the latest, Member States must open fully at the end of the seven year period. (31 December 2013 for Bulgaria and Romania).

The restrictions only apply to workers: they do not apply to the self-employed. Nor do they restrict the rights to travel and live in another Member State.

Currently, 11 EU Member States imposed restrictions on workers from Romania and Bulgaria.

On 1 January 2014 all EU Member States will be obligated to open their labour market to workers from Romania and Bulgaria.

Therefore, Romanian workers will be able to work without restrictions in the UK in 2014.

Mircea, Romania is not really a fully fledged member of the EU, it is? Is has restrictions such as work limitations for Romanians in other member states. Why were Polish workers free to come to the UK while Romanians have restrictions? Bulgaria is even worse off with funding being cut. As an EU/UK citizen, why am I able to work in every member state but you are not?

Why should Serbia join when it had greater economic growth than Romania and the rest of the EU? It sounds to me that Serbia would actually help the EU's growth seeing we surpassed it. Unfortunately, with the world financial meltdown in place, there is no more growth within the EU. In the next few years it will in fact be more occupied with keeping afloat than generating wealth. One of our Irish friends from another thread posted this http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22007.htm You may find it interesting to see where Easter European members are heading.

Adrian, Vojvodina is a province of Serbia. In fact I am a Vojvodjan and it cannot join the EU on its own as provinces are not allowed. The growth in Belgrade has been significant as I presume is the case in other parts in Serbia.

All I can say is thank God the Irish blocked the Lisbon treaty and thank God Mladic is also blocking progress towards the EU.

Peace everyone.

You Serbs think that it is easy to join the EU? You will see that the accession process is very difficult when Serbia will begin the accession negotiations with the EU.

Look at Croatia. Croatia started negotiations with the EU in 2005 and will probably finish the negotiations in 2009.

Mircea,
is it true that Romania was able to join the EU club, without any prerequisites and qualifications. Basically winning the lottery, wow must feel great.

ZK,

The Irish will approve the Lisbon Treaty in the referendum in October.

According to Serbia's Economy Minister Mladjan Dinkic, Serbia's economic growth rate was 6.1% in 2008. This is what I read in an article on the internet.

According to the European Commission, Romania recorded the highest economic growth rate in the EU in 2008, 7.8%

Serbia should join the EU in order to develop from an economic point of view.

Another Canadian Serb,

Romania started accession negotiations with the EU in 2000 and finished the negotiations in 2004. Romania had to negotiate 31 chapters of the acquis. Romania signed the Accession Treaty in 2005 and joined the EU in 2007.

As you can see Another Canadian Serb, it is not easy to join the EU. The accession process is very difficult.

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said that Serbia was key to the future of the entire region.
--
We all know that Serbia is key to the successful integration of the Western Balkans. Why else would they accelerate integration?

However, Kostunica is right in that the priority should be Kosovo before the EU, which will force the status issue undoubtably in Serbia's favour. I couldn't image the EU being too happy with missing pieces in its jigsaw puzzle.

Mircea, Serbia's economy grew 8.7% last year. The highest in the region and more than Romania. Serbia is not in the EU and still achieved high growth. Serbia does not need to become a member to achieve prosperity and I suspect it will do far better our of the EU than in it.

Thank god the Irish rejected the Lisbon treaty.

Adding that Serbian citizens had demonstrated a dedication to EU accession in all elections since October 2000

I don't believe this part. It seems to me that many Serbs are against EU membership.

''Serbia is the key factor to the future of the entire region'' is clearly misunderstood by Mr Jeremcic. Any country in the region decides its own fate. Serbia since early 1990's has either been in internal unrest, war or some sort of dispute with some other country. Soon as these disputes are sorted once and for all(that is to say when Serbs decide that they are fed up with conflict) it can automatically bring peace, stability and integrity to Serbia and its surrounding countries. So to sum it up in one sentence ''Realisation that conflict is not the way forward is the Key Factor''

I think that Serbia's neighbors are moving faster than Serbia on the path to the EU. Croatia will probably join the EU in 2011 if she resolves the border dispute with Slovenia. Macedonia and Montenegro will probably join the EU before Serbia.

Yes, we have all seen that. While the region has moved on and prospered you are still talking of some keys, padlocks and I dont know what. Do you really expect people to belive on what you say.
Jeremic, stop making things up because even children do not belive on what you say.
