Serbia should effect a new policy toward the European Union so as to create room for an authentic foreign policy, one which will enable the fulfillment of the country’s geo-political interests, the oppositional New Democratic Party of Serbia said on May 23.

The statement clarifies that Serbia should cultivate comprehensive cooperation with the Union, from trade to academic exchange, but should not become an EU member itself.

Such a policy would allow Serbia to “more easily dismiss any blackmail or pernicious agreements,” such as the Franco-German plan for Kosovo or documents demanding increased pressures on Republika Srpska, the party concluded.
