Opening three more EU chapters as "short-term goal"
The country's chief negotiator with the EU added that "a successful 2017 was a medium-term objective, considering the challenges facing the EU."Speaking at the "(Re-)Balkanisation of the Western Balkans," conference, Miscevic said the EC's annual report painted a "grim picture of the region", giving arguments to those who would like to see a delay in the enlargement policy until "problems in the family" are dealt with.
"That is the wrong approach," she said, adding that the grim picture was always followed by acknowledgement of progress.
That is a starting point for regional economic cooperation and a call to resolve bilateral disputes and find mechanisms to deal with political issues such as Chapter 35 on Kosovo, she said.
