Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic says Serbia's inner political conflicts regarding EU integration "need to stop". This is the case because both the advocates and opponents of the process agree that the implementation of European standards is beneficial for Serbia's society, said he. FM: End conflicts over EU integration Jeremic spoke at the presentation of the latest issue of Challenges of European Integration, a bi-monthly magazine, where he noted that support and opposition regarding Serbia's EU integration were two legitimate political views, but that blind EU-enthusiasm and categorical Euroskepticism were harmful extremes. "It should not be concealed that we have a difficult path ahead of us. We are not at its beginning, but we are still far from its end. We are entering a period when we cannot afford inside conflicts regarding EU integration," Jeremic noted, stressing that in 2011 the process will not depend so much on diplomacy as on the country's reforms. It is possible to agree on the rule of law, sustainable economic development and more efficient administration, which are all important segments of the reforms towards EU accession, said Jeremic. The diplomats will continue to create a good image about Serbia in the region, Jeremic stated, adding that the relations in the region were currently at their highest point since the start of the Yugoslav crisis. Serbia has done a lot to help that, he asserted. According to Jeremic, the government's chief political goal in 2011 is to gain the status of an EU membership candidate and secure a quick start to the accession negotiations.
