"Serbia’s pivotal role within the Western Balkans is clear: it will be difficult for the region to achieve stability unless Serbia is stable. The reforms that have been enacted by this country merit praise, as they have been aimed at strengthening democracy, transparency and the mechanisms of the rule of law. In addition to this, efforts have also been made to re-establish relations and partnerships with its neighbouring countries, its former enemies, a step I welcome as it is pressing in human terms. The agreements that Serbia has been establishing with the EU and the recent mutual opening of borders indicates that the step by step policy to create
solidarity has not been neglected. I hope that the EU will consider Serbia’s bid for membership with the appropriate rigour, but I hope that it does so while bearing in mind the important message that its accession, alongside that of Croatia, which is at a more advanced stage, will represent for the Serbian people, for the whole region, and for the EU itself."@en1
