Djelic, 50 Serbian citizens visit Berlin today
Belgrade/Berlin,
23 December 2009
Deputy Prime Minister for EU integration Bozidar Djelic and 50 Serbian citizens, who will visit four European cities under the Europe for Everyone project, today met with State Secretary of the German Federal Foreign Office Wolf-Ruthart Born in Berlin.
Djelic said at the occasion that, having applied for EU candidacy, Serbia does not expect any privileges, reiterating that Serbia will continue to implement reforms and to cooperate with the Hague tribunal and will make intensive efforts to control crime and corruption.
He stressed that Serbia is aware of its problems and will make every effort to resolve them, adding that Serbia will offer support to Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina regarding the visa liberalisation process.
As for the currently prevailing stance in Germany that EU enlargement should be much slower and more cautious than before, the Deputy Prime Minister said that it can be changed only if Serbia maintains consistency in reforms and thus becomes better eligible for EU accession.
On behalf of German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, Born congratulated Serbian citizens on visa abolishment and wished Serbia success on its EU road.
Born presented Djelic with framed last visa issued to a Serbian citizen with an inscription saying that it is invalid and free-of-charge, while Djelic gave Born a monograph about Serbia.
The group of 50 Serbian citizens is visiting EU countries for the first time. They will be visiting Paris tomorrow.
