Germany's ambassador to Belgrade says it’s vital for Serbia that talks on unfreezing the Interim Agreement with the EU are making progress at political level. “For me, it is important that the provisions of this document are, in effect, already being applied,“ Wolfram Maas said in an interview for the Tuesday edition of Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, adding that Serbia had been implementing that agreement since the beginning of the year and that EU was already applying the main trade concessions. "Progress in interim deal talks" The German ambassador said that the EU currently had problems with its internal structures, stressing that this would not, however, “affect the admission of Croatia, the only country which is waiting at the EU’s doors right now.“ “This has been interpreted as some kind of a line that the EU is drawing, but this is not so,“ he underlined. “In my opinion, the countries that are further from the EU’s doors do not have to worry either, but, frankly speaking, Serbia will not be in a position to knock on the EU's doors for three or four years,“ the ambassador said. "In the meantime, the EU needs to bring its own house into order, and, as soon as it does , return to the enlargement process. None of that affects Serbia’s EU path," stressed Maas.
