Juncker "thinks Serbia could join EU before 2025"

The EC president met with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on Wednesday, and said he was satisfied with Bulgaria's intention to put EU integration of the Western Balkans among the priorities of its EU presidency in the first half of next year.

Namely, in mid-May, the EU will organize a summit with leaders of the countries of the Western Balkans in Sofia.

"I want to reiterate my conviction that it is necessary to keep the EU perspective open for the Western Balkans. At this moment it seems that it is not possible to receive new members in 2019, but I want the European perspective to be seen not as an invitation but as a continuous need in this part of Europe," Juncker said.

He also announced his visit to the countries of the Western Balkans during the spring of 2018.
