Fuele arrived here to deliver the EU questionnaire.
The questionnaire's treatment of Kosovo is status-neutral, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
"The questionnaire we got today is the first operational step toward our final goal - European integration. Serbia's EU membership is important both to us and the Union," Cvetkovic assessed.
The prime minster said that the English-language questionnaire will be posted on the Serbian government's website on Wednesday and the Serbian translation will be put up as soon as it is ready.
The government-approved answers will also be available to the public on the website.
Fuele specified that the questionnaire does not include a question on the status of Kosovo, but that it does contain items related to the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, with status-neutral treatment of the issue of Kosovo, just as in the Stabilization and Association Agreement.
