When asked if Serbia and Macedonia would get a date for the start of the EU accession negotiations, Hague said that it depended on their individual progress in fulfillment of criteria.
He said that he had discussed the issue in Belgrade “that has made great progress”.
“I hope and I believe the European Council will be strongly in favor of the enlargement but it is a decision that needs to be made unanimously,” the British official said after a meeting with Croatian Foreign Minister Vesna Pusić in Zagreb.
Hague noted that he had discussed the EU enlargement and the negotiations with Priština with Serbian officials in Belgrade on Thursday. He pointed out that the implementation of the Brussels agreement would be monitored.
I think Serbia and FYROM will get the date, because the truth is the EU aint the pretty girl she used to be, and can't as easily say no to people who ask her to dance

In a few months the benefits of EU membership will finally be open to you. You can join your fellow Romanians on the long march to menial work in western Europe. Unlike the Greeks, Romanian serfs are good Europeans who know their place - cleaning British and German streets and toilets.

People of Serbia wake up. You will NOT be givin a date. Please note that the decision mist be unanimous The Germans will veto therefore there is no reason to negotiate with Pristina. Use the Russians to apply pressure. You will get more respect that way

Hague reminds me of Goldman Sacks which back in 2007 was advising their clients to buy whereas they were selling the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securitised mortgage debt.Hence,I am certain that Hague will tell his Serbian hosts that all things in European Union and euro currency are at the height of wonderfulness.
The truth,though,is debt levels of EU countries and the western world in general are at terminal levels. The game is almost over....the central planners will Print/QE to infinity and rob the productive and prudent of their hard earned capital,pensions and savings.
The EU might not be around and if it still is it will be a very different place in 5 years time.....for most it will certainly be a grim place.
