EP Foreign Affairs Committee supports Serbia’s EU candidate status

The European Parliament (EP) Foreign Affairs Committee supported Thursday the draft resolution urging approval of Serbia’s EU candidate status in March.

MEPs also requested the start of the EU accession negotiations, primarily on the chapters regarding rule of law and judiciary.

Almost all of the MEPs, who discussed a draft resolution that urges the European Council to grant Serbia the candidate status in March, supported the position.

MEP and EP Rapporteur for Serbia Jelko Kacin, who presented the draft resolution, pointed out that Serbia had achieved all the key goals with the implemented reforms, full cooperation with the Hague Tribunal and the dialogue with Priština.
