In addition, a certain number of questions will be specifically tailored for Serbia as no country is the same as another, he added. The EC expects a comprehensive, thorough and precise answer from the Serbian authorities, adding that the speed at which it the questionnaire will be returned to the EC is not as important as its quality, which is essential. So far, the questionnaires had 33 chapters which contained all the questions regarding the functioning of a country. The two new chapters are 'Institutions,' which refer to the number of votes that a country would receive in the Council of the EU, the number of MPs in the European Parliament and similar, and 'Other', which would contain all the questions that arise from negotiations but which could not be included in any other chapter.
