Leadership and accountability are key to BiH's EU future - Ashton & Füle
Serbia and Kosovo have made a historic move towards the European Union. European leaders decided to open accession negotiations with Serbia and talks on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Kosovo. This is not only of great significance for Serbia and Kosovo but also for the entire Western Balkan region; particularly as Croatia just joined the Union on 1 July.
The agreement reflects Serbia and Kosovo's determination to see their future in the European Union, based on a commitment to contribute to lasting reconciliation in the region. It also shows the credibility of the EU's enlargement policy; the EU delivers on its promises once an applicant country meets the necessary criteria.
