Romania recognises Serbia's progress on the path toward the EU and it will continue to support that process, says Romanian PM Dacian Ciolos, noting that his country's position on Kosovo was unchanged.

In an interview to Tanjug ahead of Thursday's meeting with Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic in Timisoara, Ciolos said that, from the very beginning of Serbia's EU integration process, Romania had been one of the strongest and most vocal supporters of Serbia's European prospects.

We hope that new negotiation chapters will be opened soon - we recognise that Serbia is making progress on its path toward European integration through adopting and implementing reforms, he said.

Romania's position on non-recognition of Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence remains unchanged, he said, urging a continuation of high-level meetings between Belgrade and Pristina.
