Belgrade, 3 April 2006

Miscevic said in a statement to Beta news agency that, according to information from Brussels, the chapter that deals with judiciary and internal affairs will be a topic of later rounds of negotiations, perhaps even of an additional one, while the negotiations scheduled for April 5 will look at the issue of free movement of labour and at concluding and transitional provisions of SAA.

In addition, the negotiators will make a revision of all the topics discussed so far, Miscevic pointed out and added that this time the remaining topics will be fully opened. She voiced hope that some chapters will be finally closed.

Miscevic stressed that the negotiators are fully prepared for the next round, as well as for all that are to come, and have one basic goal, which is to wrap up the negotiations even before the envisaged deadline of October 5.

Miscevic said that the very fact that a new round of talks has been organised is proof that the country has reached consensus on the need of European integration. She pointed out that entire society is supporting the process of integration and the conclusion of SAA.
