Minister for European Integration Jadranka Joksimovic spoke today with newly appointed European Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Várhelyi about the continuation and credibility of EU enlargement policy and Serbia's expectations on the European path.
After a meeting at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Joksimovic said that Serbia could be ready for EU membership by the end of Varheji's five-year term.
She said that during the talks, the European Commissioner reiterated the expectation that at least one Western Balkan country will be fully prepared for membership by the end of his term.
While not underestimating anyone else and wanting the whole region to thrive, I believe that Serbia is the one that can be a country ready for membership by the end of the term of the new Enlargement Commissioner, the Minister underlined.
She said that Commissioner Várhelyi is well aware of European politics, the region and has a balanced and sensible attitude towards enlargement and accession policy, noting that he strongly supports enlargement policy and Serbia as a country accessing the Union.
The Minister recalled that EU membership is primarily a political decision made by all member states, and that Serbia has the important job of continuing reforms and maintaining the European course.
She reiterated that Serbia is serious about the accession process and that it is not only talking about reforms but implementing them, which is recognised in Brussels.
