lpv:translated text	"Serbia has made progress over the past few months and, by fulfilling its criteria for visa liberalisation, it has demonstrated to both itself and Europe that it is capable of achieving more and performing better than it has done to date. It deserves recognition for this success. Serbia has hidden potential which it needs to realise on its road to EU membership, and it must do so in its own interest and in the interests of its neighbours, the region as a whole and the European Union. Given its size and strategic position, it could become a driving force that brings the region closer together. It is time that it became aware of that role and that it did more for enlargement than it has done so far. The leadership in Belgrade must devote itself systematically to urgent political and economic reform and cooperation with all its neighbours. Full cooperation with the Hague Tribunal is not enough because it needs to be brought to a successful end. Serbia needs to improve its political culture, because its record hitherto on that score might impede the accession process. It needs transparency and it needs to actively build as broad a public consensus as possible and to overcome divisions between the ruling coalition and the opposition on key EU issues. However, two important preconditions of a more rapid progress are freedom and independence of the media and putting an end to media manipulation."@en1
