European commission positively evaluates Serbia's progress towards EU
Belgrade,
8 November 2006
Director of the Serbian government's EU Integration Office Tanja Miscevic said that the annual report of the European Commission on Serbia's progress in the process of European integration is generally positive, in spite of the negative evaluation of cooperation with the Hague tribunal.
Miscevic told the Tanjug news agency that the lack of full cooperation with the Hague tribunal does not mean that the process of reforms in Serbia has stopped although negotiations on the Stabilisation and Association Agreement cannot be continued.
Apart from commending Serbia for its achievements, the report also contains advice on what else should be done in the process of European integration and internal reforms.
Speaking on the assessment of the Serbian Constitution in the report, Miscevic said that the assessment is very positive, even though the Commission expressed concern regarding certain solutions presented.
She specified that this relates to lack of objective mechanisms which could prevent the appointment of judges and prosecutors to be politically influenced, territorial decentralisation and relation between international law and the Constitution.
Miscevic also pointed to the fact that the Serbian government’s EU Integration Office, and all those engaged in coordinating the integration process, including ministers and bodies of the Serbian government with whom the EU Integration Office cooperates, are very positively assessed in the report.
According to Miscevic, the report has shown what needs to be done and which mistakes need to be set right. She added that Serbia’s chief aim should be to realise internal reforms which can provide a better living standard to citizens.
