New Serbian President says it will keep direction towards EU

Newly elected President of Serbia, 60 years-old Tomislav Nikolic, vowed to keep Belgrade on its path to Brussels.

“Serbia will not turn away from the European path,” said the leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), now the country’s biggest after the May 6 parliamentary and first-round presidential elections.

However, Nikolic  warned that he does not want Serbia to join the 27-member bloc at any cost, saying the breakaway province of Kosovo was a make-or-break issue.
