"Madam President, Serbia has made great progress, and we have stressed this in this report. I voted for its adoption because I think Serbia’s place is among the Member States of the European Union. I also welcomed the decision to grant Serbia EU candidate status. This will intensify the efforts of all who support this option.
I would also like to mention a certain personal experience I had when I was a Council of Europe observer at the constitutional referendum. At the time – it was several years ago – many young Serbs did not believe that the possibility of European Union membership lay open to them. We tried to persuade them that it did. It seems to me that today’s report and the granting of EU candidate status are, in fact, the answer to the doubts they had then. I am profoundly convinced that their efforts will not be wasted and that at some point, we will be able to receive them into membership of the European Union. I sincerely hope this will be the case."@en1
