Greek FM Dimitris Droutsas has stated that Greece, which, along with Bulgaria, has assumed the responsibility of ushering neighboring countries into the EU. Greece is doing everything in its power to promote the idea of the EU enlargement in the Western Balkan region, he said. "Serbia plays key role in EU enlargement" "We believe that Serbia has the central role in the EU enlargement process," Droutsas stated for the Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti. He said that the first important step on Serbia's EU path was made when the Council of Ministers requested from the European Commission to draft an opinion on the country's EU candidacy application. "We will continue to work intensively to promote Serbia's EU aspirations," Droutsas said. Droutsas reiterated that Greece's stand on the Kosovo issue is well-known ,and that it has not changed. Greece is one of five EU member-states that have not recognized the Kosovo Albanian unilateral declaration of independence made three years ago. The conclusions of the December meeting of the EU foreign ministers best reflect the positions taken by each of the EU countries in respect of the Kosovo and Metohija issue, Droutsas said.
