German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger in an interview for RTS said the EU perspective for Serbia and other countries in the region should be open, while the enlargement process should continue. He commented on recent messages from Paris that Serbia would not become an EU member before the union is transformed within, saying the question whether the EU should expand before being reformed is an ancient question, considered many times over the last three decades.

German expert for Balkans Wolfgang Ischinger, creator of a plan to resolve the Kosovo issue based on model of two Germany, told the Belgrade-based daily Politika that solution to the Kosovo issue is not nearby. He added he would be the first one to welcome if there would be a plan widely supported in the Serbian society and the Parliament as well as that the plan is also equally accepted in Kosovo.
