"Croatia has assumed the presidency of the Council of the European Union, and we expect it to make a special contribution to the enlargement policy, since it is a state from our region and the last member-state to have joined the EU," Ivica Dacic said in Belgrade at a reception for the diplomatic corps and editors from Serbian media.
Dacic expects the Western Balkan summit to bring "a concrete result and that by then the methodology of the EU accession process will be completely defined."
"For states that have made progress in integration and opened more than a half of the negotiating chapters, like Serbia, the pace of the process has to be improved with clear political support," Dacic said.
