Serbia seeks date for start of EU talks

Serbian President Boris Tadić reiterated on Tuesday that Serbia was seeking and expected to be given a date for the start of accession talks with the European Union.

“As far as our progress toward the EU is concerned, we are seeking and expecting a date for the start of talks and, like Croatia, to jump to official candidate status for membership, because we think that by the time it is decided, at the end of December or September, Serbia will have met all the conditions,” said Tadić.
