The talks, held in Belgrade, focused on the process of Serbia-Montenegro’s stabilisation and association with the EU, which has been intensified since the country received a positive Feasibility Study on EU accession.
The three officials agreed that maximum efforts must be made in the upcoming period in order to ensure that negotiations on a stabilisation and association agreement are successful and efficient.
It was also stressed that Serbia-Montenegro must use the upcoming period to facilitate the state union’s European integration. This issue must be put above all other issues in Serbia-Montenegro, particularly in light of a possible referendum in Montenegro.
After the positive Feasibility Study, talks on a stabilisation and association agreement top the agenda, which is Serbia-Montenegro’s and the EU’s most urgent and the most important interest.
Solana announced that he will meet with Serbia-Montenegrin officials again in September.
The talks also covered the situation in Kosovo-Metohija and the participants stressed the importance of progress in the decentralisation process.
The importance of completing cooperation with the Hague tribunal was also pointed out at the meeting.
