"The EU’s enlargement policy is one of its greatest successes, and has contributed to peace and development in many neighbouring countries. This motion for a resolution concerns EU enlargement to include the Republic of Serbia. We all remember the conflicts in the Balkans, so all efforts to consolidate peace and encourage these countries’ economic development are to be welcomed. On 1 March, the Council awarded Serbia the status of candidate country. This distinction gives it greater responsibility for implementing the reforms enshrined in the Treaty of Copenhagen; specifically, making changes to the legal system, combating xenophobia and organised crime, and respecting minorities’ rights. Serbia is a country central to the Balkans, whose example of democratisation and struggle against corruption could and should set an example for neighbouring countries. To that end, it should comply with the terms of the Priština agreement and accept Kosovo’s independence. I voted for this report and I hope that the accession negotiations will start shortly, so that all Serbians can enjoy a brighter future."@en1
