The EU Integration Office says the government will discuss the National Integration Program, which sets out ways of reaching EU standards by 2012. The action plan of several thousand pages details the precise speed at which Serbia’s legal system should come into line with EU standards, defines financial costs, as well as the widest range of requirements for that job to be accomplished successfully.

"Consensus per se doesn’t mean a lot if we do not have a clear plan on how to reach some of the basic objectives, and these objectives should be a modern, developed, European Serbia of the 21st century, with all the hallmarks that go with it,” Miscevic said. She said that the most important “domestic job” was environmental protection. She added that one third of European regulations referred to that issue, and added that the process in Serbia would last “many years” and that it would demand significant funding. "Over the past couple of years, we have had the highest increase in terms of regulations in this area, and the question is how much time Serbia needs to adopt those regulations, since we’ve only just started to create a framework for environmental protection,” Miscevic pointed out. Recent research shows that 90 percent of EU citizens were well informed about the environment in their region, while in Serbia the figure was only 30 percent.
