Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has assessed that the attitude of the EU toward Serbia "has not been good as of lately". To the remark that he had recently presented an eight-point plan for a speedier EU integration of the Balkans, he underlined that many were wrong to believe that all the Balkan countries were being treated in the same way. "EU has not been good to Serbia" "This is not true, especially not when it comes to Serbia which we have been treating very badly for some time now," Frattini said during an interview for the Vienna daily Der Standard. "I also have to point to the fact that certain European have a very poor knowledge about the Balkans," he added. "Unfortunately, this is a fact," the Italian foreign minister stressed. Speaking about Croatia, he underlined that he agreed with his Austrian counterpart Michael Spindelegger that if no progress was to be made soon regarding the country's border dispute with Slovenia, it would be impossible to conclude the EU admission talks by the end of the year.
