Countries of the ‘Quinta' warned Belgrade through diplomatic channels that Serbian resolution if not changed, shall slow down the process of integration of Serbia with the EU.
Serbian Deputy Prime Minister in charge of European integration Bozidar Djelic says that a small number of very influential countries of the EU have decided to make pressure on Serbia shortly before the debate at the UN General Assembly over the status of Kosovo and Serbian resolution about its southern province. According to Djelic the instrument of pressure is Serbian candidacy for the EU membership.
He expects that those intending to make pressure on our country shall realize soon that such policy is giving no results.
‘On the other hand, as a democratic country we have the right to defend our territorial integrity and there is no reason that we are the only country which is the UN member whose case shall be used for justification of unilateral secession. I am expecting that in several weeks or a month we shall get much more understanding even from those trying to make pressure on us. Belgrade is pursuing a clear policy that consensus between Belgrade and Pristina is the only possible way to re-establish European unity over Kosovo issue', Djelic said.
