Serbia’s Vucic announces legislative debate soon
Aleksandar Vucic, the President of Serbia, said on Thursday he expected a European Parliament’s (EP) positive report of his country’s progress and that Belgrade was satisfied with economic reforms, but there was still a lot to do in the rule of law, the Beta news agency reported.
After meeting with David McAllister, the EP Rapporteur for Serbia, Vucic said he hoped that at the beginning of next month, the parliament would start a procedure on the legislation since it was crucial >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << for the European Union negotiating chapters 23 and 24 on the judiciary and fundamental rights and justice, and freedom and security respectively.
McAllister said that Serbia was proceeding toward the European Union,“ ladies and gentlemen, Serbia is on track,” he said, adding that 14 chapters were opened and that several more were ready.
But, he said, the process was not done in a day, and that transformation took time.

Vucic added that the Chapter 35 on Kosovo was of particular significance for Serbia and that it was a kind of a condition for Belgrade’s European integration.
“I informed McAllister with the events in Kosovo… It’s good that we have peace and some stability, but for how long neither I nor anybody else knows. We will preserve peace, try to maintain stability, but it takes two to tango,” Vucic said.
He added he “did not have a clue” about what the international community wanted and expected from Serbia.
Vucic said Belgrade was ready to continue the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue on normalisation of relations, and that he knew that Serbia had to do something regarding Kosovo, but that he did not know what, and that it seemed to him that Europe did not know what had to be done either.
Speaking about the region, Vucic said his country was trying to have the best possible relations with everyone regardless of their messages to Serbia and added he would tell McAllister “about other countries’ frustrations and complexes” over the dinner.
“Maybe it’s better for me to say nothing. I think that they ( the international community) are, as I’m, fed up with our stories,” Vucic said.
