"Hungary continues to be a committed supporter of Serbia’s EU accession. I welcome the significant progress made in terms of compliance with the Copenhagen criteria, which has been essential for Serbia to be granted EU candidate status. I must, however, stress that these criteria must not only be observed temporarily in order to obtain membership. To us, the high-level recognition and guaranteeing of the collective rights of the Hungarian community living in Serbia’s Vojvodina is of unquestionable national interest. Serbia still has to make significant efforts to ensure high-quality education in minority languages at both state and provincial level, as this is a requisite of preserving ethnic and cultural identity. Moreover, the Serbian authorities must provide the financial resources necessary for the exercise of cultural, educational and language rights associated with the act on national councils. Serbia’s minority policy must be monitored continuously. Still, it is reassuring that despite initial difficulties, the rehabilitation act that has been adopted settles matters of dispute related to collective guilt and places greater emphasis on individual liability. My position is that Serbia’s future progress in the process of European integration will greatly depend on the protection of minorities, on maintaining good neighbourly relations, and on regional cooperation."@en1
