Slovenia warns Serbia: EU membership conditional on handing over UDBA archives
Slovenian Member of the European Parliament Matej Tonin has reiterated a warning recently issued by Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša that the handover of UDBA archives will be among the conditions Serbia must meet during its EU accession negotiations.
Slovenian MEP Matej Tonin has said that the handover of archives belonging to former Yugoslav security services will be a key condition in Serbia's EU accession negotiations.
"The handover of UDBA archives will be one of Slovenia's fundamental demands in Serbia's EU accession negotiations. It is positive that the government has announced this in advance and that the issue is finally being addressed. More importantly, all outstanding issues should be actively resolved through talks between the two governments," Tonin wrote.
His comments follow a statement made on October 27 by Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša, who warned that Ljubljana would block further progress in Serbia's EU accession process unless Belgrade handed over archives relating to Slovenia.
"We would welcome any move by Serbia to accelerate its EU accession negotiations. However, we will not approve any further progress until Serbia hands over all archives of UDBA, SDV, JNA, ZSNZ and other former Yugoslav security services relating to Slovenia," Janša wrote on X.
Janša's remarks came in response to a statement by EU official Marta Kos, who said that "the door to the EU remains open" for Serbia.
