"Madam President, I voted for this resolution because I would like stability to be established in the Balkans. However, in order to progress on its European course, Serbia must meet the Copenhagen criteria fully, including with regard to the protection of minorities. I should emphasise in this regard the need for the rights of the Vlachs in the Timoc Valley to be respected. I am thinking, in particular, of their right to self-identification and preserving their ethnic and cultural identity, including through the provision of education in Romanian.
I should point out the protocol signed by Romania and Serbia on the protection of minorities. I urge the authorities in Belgrade to make every effort to ensure that this document is implemented according to a suitable timeframe.
I should also mention the importance of cross-border cooperation for regional prosperity, including as part of the EU strategy for the Danube region."@en1
