"In the Lagendijk report (), the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy calls on the Council and the Commission to consider the possibility of suspending financial assistance to each of five countries – Albania, Bosnia–Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, and also Serbia and Montenegro – if they do not comply with three political conditions.
The June Movement supports the view that these political conditions must be complied with at all times. We have chosen, therefore, to vote in favour of the report, but with the following reservations.
We do not believe that the EU should sit in judgment on individual states in Europe; or the world, for that matter. The UN currently represents the only international cooperation that admits the possibility of fair sanctions against individual states, and which is at the same time recognised by the international community. The June Movement does not believe that the European Union should have a common foreign policy, and regards this report as one more step towards this goal. By voting in favour of the report, we are signalling our agreement with the political demands on the Balkan countries, but not accepting the means.
In addition, the June Movement strongly disagrees with point F of the report, which talks of the EU taking over the current NATO operation ‘Amber Fox’. We see this as a stage in the establishment of the EU’s own military rapid reaction force."@en1
