During a visit to Belgrade on 17 September, Enlargement Commissioner Štefan Füle delivered the message that Serbia has an historic opportunity to launch accession talks with the EU soon, provided that it keeps up a constructive momentum in its relations with Pristina. EurActiv Serbia, launched yesterday (19 September), reports.
After meeting with Serbian officials, Füle said he hoped a consensus would be reached soon within the EU regarding Belgrade's application for EU membership, adding that the Belgian EU Presidency, as well as other countries and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton, were "working hard" in that direction.
"The European Commission is of the opinion that the time has come for the EU to take Serbia's application for joining the EU seriously," Füle said after a meeting with Serbian President Boris Tadić.
