Ana Brnabic (BETAPHOTO/MILAN OBRADOVIC)
Serbian National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabic voiced the hope on Nov. 12 that Cluster 3 in the country's European Union integration process would be opened in December, adding that it was necessary to step up lagging reforms as there was no national consensus for the bid to join the EU.
"The Western Balkans must be part of the most successful peace project in the history of humankind in order to turn to the future," she said at the Adria Summit, organized in Belgrade by the MTS company and Euronews Serbia.
She went on to say that membership had benefited all member countries more than it had harmed them, and that the country already shipped 60 percent of its exports to the EU. Brnabic said reforms, though complex, were in Serbia's interest, and that they were often miscommunicated by the Serbian authorities as something demanded by the EU.
Euronews regional director Minja Miletic and Telekom Srbija CEO Vladimir Lucic also spoke at the opening of the summit.
