Stefan Fule says Serbia must fulfil EU candidacy conditions in time

Serbia can become candidate for EU membership if it fulfills the conditions in time, EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule said on Tuesday.

Fule met with Serbia’s Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić in Brussels today.

“I acknowledged the commitment of the Serbian leadership to European integration. I stressed the EU still expects an active approach to the continuation of the dialogue with Priština, and tangible progress, especially on the issue of regional representation,” Fule said in a written statement for the media.

According to him, if progress is made in time, the European Council will confirm the decision to grant Serbia candidate status at its next session.
