Serbia’s EU candidate status decision could be delayed

Certain EU member states want the decision on Serbia’s EU candidate status to be delayed until further notice.

EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule has been lobbying in order to ensure that the Council of Ministers will vote on it on December 9.

There have been indications that the decision on Serbia’s EU candidacy will be postponed until further notice.

Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić said he was hoping to get the candidate status in December but that nothing dramatic would happen if the decision was made two months later.
