The EC 2020 Report on Serbia

European Commision

No Progress Made

Serbia has made no progress in the European integration process since May 2019, says the latest annual progress report the European Commission (EC) released on Oct. 6 as part of the 2020 Enlargement Package. The key message to Belgrade is that the pace of accession negotiations with the European Union (EU) depends on the progress Serbia makes in solidifying the rule of law and normalizing relations with Kosovo. Serbia is also expected to alter the anti-European rhetoric that has reduced support to a national strategy to join the EU, especially among young people.
