Djelic told the Tanjug news agency that although today's debate which is a prelude to tomorrow's voting on the ratification of the SAA and the resolution was positive for Serbia, there was still criticism concerning the cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the reforms that should be implemented.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that today's debate announces a broad support in the European Parliament for the two documents that are crucial for Serbia.
He pointed out that Serbia is currently struggling to avoid the adoption of a number of unfavourable amendments which mostly introduce limitations in the upcoming dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.
Serbia considers that this dialogue should be open and that the two sides should agree on issues they want to discuss and what they want to achieve together.
