Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic says that Serbia is an integral, key factor in speeding up the European integration of the Western Balkans. In a lecture at Oxford University, Jeremic said that the future of the Western Balkans, which is of essential importance to consolidating European security, depended on whether the EU decided to quickly accept Serbian membership. Jeremic: Serbia “key factor” Noting that the recent energy crisis had shown that Europe had a strategic interest in Ukraine’s stability, and that Turkey could easily become a key EU player in the Middle East, Jeremic said that he did not want Serbia to be placed in the same category as these two countries. However, quoting Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, he said that Serbia was key to the future of the entire region. Adding that Serbian citizens had demonstrated a dedication to EU accession in all elections since October 2000, Jeremic said that the Serbian government had clearly determined that fully-fledged EU membership was its central priority.
