"As I have already had the opportunity to say, anyone who looks at a map of the European Union will quickly realise that the Western Balkans are destined to become part of it. It would never be going too far to stress the role that Serbia could play in a region that will never be definitively pacified without the country’s commitment. I would reiterate that Serbia’s path since the end of the former Yugoslavia after Soviet power collapsed has been particularly hard and violent, and that the tensions that persist in the region – most importantly, Kosovo – still have great potential for destabilisation. I would restate my hope that Serbia will persist with the European option, and I must congratulate its people and their leaders on the progress that they have made in this regard. Although I do not deny that the Union should manage the timetable for its future enlargements prudently and rigorously, or that Serbia has numerous reforms to implement, I believe it is right that it is now considered a candidate country."@en1
