"In its opinion of 12 October 2011 on the membership application of Serbia, the Commission recommended that the European Council grant candidate status to Serbia. A constructive approach towards regional cooperation and good neighbourly relations are key elements of the stabilisation and association process. I think that, if satisfactory progress is made towards the fulfilment of the key priorities set by the Commission in its opinion, and if the reform process continues, accession negotiations with Serbia should be launched as soon as possible. Also pleasing is the significant progress made by Serbia towards meeting the Copenhagen criteria; further movement in the European integration process depends on continued progress in this area and, in particular, on guaranteeing democracy, the functioning of democratic institutions, the rule of law, respect for human rights, the protection of minorities, maintaining good neighbourly relations, and regional cooperation, including the peaceful resolution of bilateral issues, as well as improving the functioning of the market economy. On the other hand, the situation in northern Kosovo is a cause for concern, especially in the second half of 2011, which resulted in violence as a consequence of the July incidents and subsequent attacks on the KFOR international forces. Such actions deserve condemnation, and the Serbian government should strive to meet its commitment of doing everything in its power to prevent them. Only through continuing political dialogue can tensions in the region be eliminated for good."@en1
