Greek FM supports Serbia’s EU accession

Greek FM Dimitris Droutsas told the UN General Assembly that a path for beginning of Serbia’s accession negotiations with the EU should be kept open and clear. He pointed out that acceptance of his country’s initiative to have all Balkans countries in the EU by 2014 would contribute to progress and stabilization of the region.

“Such decision would encourage reforms and fulfilling of other obligations by potential EU members which is a condition for their entry into the EU,” the Greek FM pointed out.

Droutsas has repeated that EU’s actions in the region “during the breakdown of Yugoslavia” were inadequate and with harmful consequences.

There are numerous consequences and the key one is, he stressed, the issue of Kosovo which should be most urgently solved.

The voice of the EU should be the most powerful in solving of that issue, the Greek official concluded.
