Nikolic: Serbia should be given impetus along EU path
“Serbia has made major progress, put painful reforms in place, and continues to be a key factor of stability in the region, despite provocations and antagonism from the neighboring countries and certain security challenges, and has every right to ask for initial chapters to be opened in negotiations with the EU,” Nikolic said in a release following the meeting with Schulz.EP President Schulz underscored that Serbia is a key country for good relations in the region, and that is why it can count on full support from the European Union and the European Parliament.
In order to tackle instability in certain neighboring countries quickly and efficiently, Serbia must remain stable and that is why it must not be forgotten by its partners from the European Union, Schulz said.
The two officials discussed the recent developments in the region, with a special emphasis on the “hostile act” in Potocari on Saturday, when Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic was attacked, and the issue of migrants that are trying to reach Western Europe, across Serbia.
Schulz, who is on a visit to Belgrade, also met with Prime Minister Vucic earlier on Wednesday.
