A Serbian delegation is in Brussels today to hear the European Commission’s annual progress report on Serbia’s EU integration. After talks with European Commission officials, Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic said that the empowerment of public administration would come in for great praise in the upcoming EC progress report on reforms in Serbia, as would the application of the interim trade deal with the EU, but that a “black mark“ would be the failure to adopt the majority of reform laws. Serbian delegation in Brussels on Wednesday Djelic thus called on parliament to adopt the laws required for the Schengen white list as soon as possible, which would lead to the abolishment of the visa regime for Serbian citizens, as well as the laws for further European integration, as these were prerequisites for Serbia receiving EU candidate status in 2009. Commenting on EC Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn's statement that “drastic measures“ were required in Serbia and the Western Balkans for tackling corruption and crime, the minister said that “the struggle against corruption and organized crime is certainly in this report and in the years to come, it will be one of the EC’s key focus points.“ Along with Djelic, Deputy Foreign Minister Milica Delevic, Director of the Office for European Integration Tanja Miscevic and deputy prime ministerial advisor Ksenija Milivojevic make up the rest of the delegation in Brussels. The delegation met today with EC Director for the Western Balkans Pierre Mirel, EC Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik, Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding, and Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities Commissioner Vladimir Spidla.
