"Madam President, we should not focus just on arresting and trying the war criminal Mladić. Serbia has enormous problems with organised crime. A number of speakers have already mentioned this and we must not underestimate those problems. Certainly, progress has been made, but not enough to achieve an acceptable standard, not by a long shot.
Another thing, of course, is that Serbia is a poor country, like all those candidate countries. These are poor countries and their accession will be very costly for European citizens. Serbia is even more corrupt than Romania and Bulgaria. Romania and Bulgaria should never have been allowed to join the Union. This will lead to a great many problems in terms of corruption and Serbia is even more corrupt. I view that as a particularly persistent problem and one that cannot be resolved just like that. I therefore call on you not to underestimate it.
Moreover, Serbia’s potential accession, just like the visa waiver, will lead to even more emigration into Western Europe, emigration that will be of no benefit to us."@en1
