When it comes to its policy toward the Western Balkans, the European Union’s (EU) key priority is enlargement and this will not change, on the contrary, it can only strengthen, EU Ambassador to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret told N1.
He said the situation in Europe changed following Russia’s aggression on Ukraine and that he believes that enlargement will be one of the top priorities of the newly elected European Parliament, just as it is high on the European Commission’s (EC) agenda.
We want the Serbian citizens to become members of the European family as soon as possible, he said, adding that the EU will need five years to prepare for everything.
The offer is there, but the ball is in the Western Balkans countries’ court, they need to implement reforms, to align with EU’s foreign policy, said Ambassador Giaufret, adding that, on the other hand, the EC is expected to accelerate enlargement.
We want the Western Balkans to smartly utilize the available resources, to implement the agreed reforms, the Western Balkan countries actually need to integrate the region, said Giaufret.
