"We're focused on visa road map"

The government is fully committed to meet the remaining conditions from the road map in order to have the EU scrap its visas for Serbians, says Milica Delevic. "We're moving in the right direction to meet all the necessary conditions in time, so that the Serbian citizens can travel without visas after the new year," the head of the government EU integration office told B92. "We're focused on visa road map" Lately, unofficially some Serbian and European politicians said that the EU could make a precedent and allow Serbia to submit her membership candidature before the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) has been unfrozen. The agreement was signed in late April 2008 and immediately suspended, pending Belgrade's full cooperation with the Hague Tribunal. However, Delevic said that "proactive" policy is need in EU integrations. "When it comes to the unfreezing of the Interim Trade Agreement [a part of the SAA] or the date of possible submitting of the EU candidature, it is always better to meet the conditions than to wait for Brussels to perhaps give up on a demand."
