Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic on Wednesday said that Serbia insists that the conditions for the start of its EU accession negotiations "must be clarified."

"We are not saying we will be conducting a war with the European Union, but we need to make things clear. We are not powerful, but we cannot applaud either," the Serbian minister remarked during a news conference held in Belgrade with his Zambian counterpart.

Asked about his previous statement that Serbia does not accept new conditions in order to open first EU membership negotiations chapters, Dacic replied:

"We don't want to be talked to in that way. We do not accept the practice of having the official position that there are no (new) conditions, but then it turns out there are."

The minister specified that this concerns the conditions set by Germany.

"There needs to be a discussion, that is, the European Unions should discuss with Germany what is to be done next," he said.

Dacic also "asked what Peace Park on the bridge in Kosovska Mitrovica has to do with the Brussels agreement," and "how that showed up at the top of the German list of conditions."
