"The European Union must commence accession negotiations with Serbia as soon as possible, thus demonstrating its commitment to the country’s prospects within the EU. Serbia, in turn, must, by all means, continue its progress to ensure, as part of its European integration process, the operation of democracy and democratic institutions, the maintenance of the rule of law, respect for human rights, and the protection of minorities. Every candidate country is also required to have excellent relations with its neighbours, and therefore Serbia must, in future, be able to demonstrate improvements in its relations with Kosovo, meaning that it must face the country’s independence. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 65 countries worldwide, including 22 out of 27 Member States of the European Union. We must convince the hesitant Member States, namely, Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain, to set aside their concerns and join the majority in recognising the independence of Kosovo as soon as possible. I voted for the report with a view to contributing to the achievement of the aforesaid goals."@en1
