"Serbia’s future lies in the EU. I therefore welcome Serbia’s application for membership of the European Union, submitted on 22 December 2009, and the decision taken by the Council of Ministers on 25 October 2010 to ask the Commission to examine Serbia’s application.
I would congratulate Serbia on the progress achieved in the reform process. I would stress that the development of regional cooperation remains a key priority for the EU and is intended as a catalyst for reconciliation, good neighbourliness and enhanced people-to-people contacts in the Western Balkans. I therefore call on Serbia to adopt a constructive approach towards more inclusive regional cooperation.
I would point out that full cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is a fundamental condition for Serbia to progress on the path to EU membership. It should be noted that Serbia continues to respond adequately to ICTY requests for assistance. I call on the Serbian Government to continue working closely with the Tribunal, including swift transmission of all requested documents and timely completion of cases transferred back from the ICTY."@en1
