Kocijacic confirmed that on Friday, Ashton and EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule will address a short letter to the EU member states about the progress in implementing the agreement and internal reforms in Serbia. That is part of preparations for the meeting of the Council of Ministers that will be held in Luxembourg next week, she explained, adding that the content of the letter will mostly depend on what will be agreed during the dinner. On Tuesday, the foreign ministers will discuss whether Serbia should be granted a start date for the EU entry talks. The Commission has already put forward its recommendation to the Council to give Serbia the date, so the letter would be just an update of that information, Kocijacic stressed. (Beta, file) Tanjug
