Former Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic expects Serbia to apply for EU membership by the end of 2009. “The decision to abolish visas would be an important incentive and the beginning of stronger cooperation with the EU, an additional boost to speed up the negotiation process,“ Svilanovic said, adding that he expected another goal to be reached in 2009: applying for EU membership. "Belgrade needs encouragement from EU" Speaking at a presentation for a book called "Serbia Matters: Domestic Reforms and European Integration," of which he is one of the editors, he pointed out that, together with the application, it was important to restore Serbia's relations with its neighbors. Svilanovic, an OSCE coordinator of economic and environmental activities, underscored that Serbia needed encouragement on its road to EU accession both from those managing the process within Serbia and the authorities in Brussels. He told the promotion that the book was an attempt to put things back in their rightful place, both in Brussels and Belgrade, calling for more courage and decisiveness from key decision-makers. The book "Serbia Matters: Domestic Reforms and European Integration" contains around 20 political essays about Serbia, and was published in Serbian after being published in English. The editors, besides Svilanovic, are former EU Special Envoy for Kosovo Wolfgang Petritsch and Secretary-General of the Centre for European Integration Strategies Cristophe Solioz.
