Belgian Foreign Minister Steven Vanackere said that Serbia’s EU candidate status application will be on the agenda in September. Serbian President Boris Tadic said recently in Istanbul that Serbia and the Balkans are slowing disappearing of the EU’s radar and that they must return to being an EU priority. EU “has not forgotten Serbia” He said that the EU must clearly state whether it wants Serbia in its community. Tadic’s cabinet said that his message is nothing new. He has given similar statements in many cases, adding that it is clear that there seems to be a halting of enlargement efforts because of internal problems in the EU, mainly the economic crisis. Belgium will take over the EU Presidency from Spain in July, and in its program it states that “the integration of the Western Balkans is in the top five priorities,” adding that “the EU is ready to continue the enlargement process.” Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme said that the rhythm of integration depends on the candidates. “All these countries have their own EU futures, but on the question of timing, we will give answers based on the true progress the countries make,” he said. Commenting Tadic’s statement, Vanackere said that he does not see any road blocks in Brussels’ policies towards Belgrade. “At the last Council of Ministers meting the SAA (Stabilization and Association Agreement) as confirmed. Serbia’s candidacy application will be forwarded to the European Union most likely in September,” he said.
