EP official: Candidacy unrealistic

# The people of Serbia should be aware that their country has fallen behind its neighbours.

Croatia will join the EU in 2012, Macedonia will start accession negotiations with the EU soon, Montenegro and Albania have submitted their EU Candidacy application.

Just curious, but what is at stake for you in this argument? Why are you the biggest cheerleader for the EU? Maybe you have a good reason, I don't know... I am just curious.

As for EU, it is the same as recognizing Kosovo: there should be national referendum for voters to decide if they want the EU or if they want to recognize Kosovo. If it were the case, there would be a lot less members and far, far fewer recognitions.

Ah! The good cop, bad cop again. It’s always Ratko or Goran that are stopping the Serbs from reaching heaven on earth by joining the EU. These EU officials are not even in step with one another and how the hell are they going to convince the general populace to enter paradise.
Watch little Jelko get a right kicking from his EU bosses. And Serbs aspire to joining this circus! God help you.

How low has Serbia fallen! Think about it, Slovenia is lecturing and with Croatia they hold they to your entrance. There's talk of Vojvodina "becoming a state," by Kostunica, Kosova is gone, Serbia borrowing like a drunk sailor, EU membership going nowhere...

No matter how sad you think Serbia is, they are always light years ahead of "Kosova." At least Serbia is clean and free of filth and trash everywhere, investment is coming in, and there is a real spirit and culture to speak of.

What is Serbia doing? wasting time.

Saving herself from the claws of a monster.As some already indicated with free visa travel they have achieved what they wanted.

" It cannot be a game of poker, put a game with clear rules with which trust is earned from all 27 member-states, the EU institutions"

- LOL !!! The whole of the EU is just one big poker game with decisions all made between the big country's behind closed doors and shadowy corridors bordering upon nepotistic & corrupt power games - one needs only look to the way the EU selected a EU president and foreign minister this last week - it certainly is far from democratic and transparent - no different to the game of poker that Kacin suggests is not what the EU membership is about!

LOL either he is blatantly disingenuous or is so controlled like a robot that he can only say what is input into his voice command!!!

Still Tadic said Serbia will submit its candidacy for membership this December after speaking to Merkel so someone will have to deal with the de-railment if it’s not offered as it will destabilise ruling coalition headed by D yeS to all that EUSSR demands who have promised EU candidate member this year end.

The people of Serbia should be aware that their country has fallen behind its neighbours.

Croatia will join the EU in 2012, Macedonia will start accession negotiations with the EU soon, Montenegro and Albania have submitted their EU Candidacy application.

Can you tell me what has changed in Romania in the lest 19 years and how Romania has benefited from EU membership?
The latest report i have is that Romania is not in a position to pay pensions and salaries to public employees unless they get the $20 billion loan from the IMF.

I don't think the situation in Romania is unique but i think whatever happened to Romania it did happen to most Eastern European countries.

For a start,i don't think
Ceausecsu was overthrown by democrats but by jackals who needed a scapegoat and used the opportunity to enrich themselves at the expense of the people they claimed to be freeing.The fact is that the Romanian people's former communist jailors are now their capitalist owners.

For the EU this is all just fine,a change of guard, just as long western corporations are given free access to the country's economy.

Can you give me a valid explanation as to why Serbia should follow Romania's dependent path of development.

Thank you for visa free travel and the free trade agreement.

Lets keep our independence and never join the EU. I hope Mladic is somewhere out of reach and I hope The Netherlands stands firm and insist on his arrest.

Živeli!

The IMF demands privatizations & cut in pensions so that western, mainly american companies, can reap what other people have payed for all their lifes.

Then there is no money left to pay the pensions so they must loan....from IMF.

K-AL,

It is getting better every day?! That is the most intellectually dishonest statement I have ever heard. When Albanians here start using garbage cans instead of dumping trash outside their houses & cars or burning it to pollute the air - then THAT will be progress. Until that happens, do not try to compare yourself to Serbia.

Furthermore, since I actually know how garbage cans work, I am most certainly not part of the problem. The only trash I have yet to be able to dispose happens to be Ramush and Hashim.

your talk into gods ear but outch, the visa-liberation obviously still hurts!

and that is good so!

or didn´t the same not even 2 month ago say that serbia doesn´t meet visa-criteria?

but the most funny part of this is the thing about berlusconi, merkel and co. not beeing as important as jelko ...

hilarious!

one could think he´s got albanian roots ...

i hereby once again officially demand that the men in charge turn up the air-condition in european "parliament".

so that the guys sitting in the last bench, sent away from home to minimize the wrongdoings, get more air and oxygen.

it´s obviously needed ...

"Does Serbia have several foreign policies? A different one for every ear end every opportunity?"

Mr. Kacin, can you honestly name any country that doesn't? But you have to exclude the ones willing to sit, jump and rollover on the master's command, since their foreign policies are always products of the given command in a given moment. No, I do not expect an honest answer. You, in your assigned position do not have a permission for such.
As for your occasional praise for Serbia ("Serbia can"!)- that music is better suited for some first graders' ears.

Uhoh Jeremic looks like they've caught on!

The people of Serbia should be aware that their country has fallen behind its neighbours.

Croatia will join the EU in 2012, Macedonia will start accession negotiations with the EU soon, Montenegro and Albania have submitted their EU Candidacy application.

What is Serbia doing? wasting time.

'“Candidacy is an important issue, that is why we must be realistic. It cannot be a game of poker, put a game with clear rules with which trust is earned from all 27 member-states, the EU institutions, Serbian neighbors and other current and future candidates,” Kacin told daily Blic. '

"Other current and future candidates" - Croatia, Albania, Kosovo. Is this something new, that disagreements with future candidates can disrupt the accession process? If so, it sounds like Serbia can forget about joining the EU and then later blocking Kosovo's admission.

On a more cheerful note, Slovakia lagged behind the Czech Republic and Poland for years during their march toward accession, until the elections in 2004 (I think it was) gave them a government truly committed to joining, and they made the necessary changes in record time and joined along with the other two. So it's not impossible to catch up. It's worked out well for the Slovaks - they now have the highest per-capita production of automobiles in Europe (or is it the world? Sorry, I can't remember the source of this interesting fact.)

serbia stop putting yourself down!!!!!! with this eu nonsense.. germany - france -etc... live better because they place their own interests FIRST not because the live up to others interests.. joining eu will not save kosovo or open access to any other funding that serbia doesnt already receive ...OMG we can sooo much better !! if albania / macedonia r ahead of serbia and bulgaria is already in ...is it something we need.

Jason,
You are part of this trash also (of course if you are working and living in Kosovo). I can tell you about this issue, it's getting better every day. Of course its only 10 years after war and you know it, just like I do, that it takes time...for everything boy.
Greetings from a beautyful place with trash and internationals everywhere...lol

Cheers

So what if Serbia does not follow its neighbours! What exactly do you think is going to happen when these countries joining the EU? Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania are all broke so I can only guess that you think that money will pour out of EU coffers for them to spend, spend. Those days are long gone and I recommend that you don’t hold you’re breath waiting for that to happen.

All these countries will be told to cut expenditure simply because the EU does not have any more funds. The lives of the people will not change one bit. Ask the Bulgarians, they are part of the EU.

I know for sure it's Ramush and Thacis fault that you are working in Kosovo, but your intelect behavor is -0 by writing that about them. Its not your fault at all... We, at least don't need some like you Jason, but since we have "it", we can easly say that the "it's" mixed ...lol

P.s. What goes around, comes around

Cheers
