Vucic:Citizens often see EU as machine for pressure over Kosovo (B92)

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic says he is convinced that Serbia will remain firmly on the European path when he "leaves the government in a month, two, or three."

During his meeting in Belgrade with members of EU's Working Party on Enlargement (COELA) and representatives of the EU Council and the European Commission, Vucic said that Serbia's strategic goal is EU membership, while maintaining traditionally good relations with "friends from the East."

According to him, the presence of COELA ambassadors was "proof of the commitment of the EU to the enlargement process." He said he wished that the participants of the meeting leave Belgrade "with clear answers to all their questions."

"Serbia is on its European path, because we think that we belong to this type of society, we would like to join the countries who believe in democracy, entrepreneurship, human rights, even though I know that there will always be a lot of complaints and demands on our behavior," the prime minister said.

Vucic said that he hopes regional stability will be preserved in the Western Balkans, the lack of which he sees as the biggest obstacle to future economic development and progress.
