The president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Dragan Djilas, stated on Feb. 12 that the claim of the chief of the EU Delegation in Serbia, Sem Fabrizi, that the EU is not turning a blind eye on the events in Serbia, was as true as the statement that "the European integration of Serbia is real."

"It is so real that, according to the report of the expert services of the European Enlargement Commission, Serbia, with the grade 2.38, is behind Albania and North Macedonia (with the grade 3.13), Montenegro (2.88) and Kosovo (3.00) (Djilas marked Kosovo with the "asterisk"), Djilas wrote in his circular letter to Sem Fabrizi.

He stated that only Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the grade 2.0, was behind Serbia.

"On the basis of results of that index, which rates a country's success in carrying out the reforms in the EU integration process, Macedonia was given EUR50 million as the reward, Albania 28 million, while Serbia was given zero euros, in keeping with the grade given to Vucic's regime for their work," Djilas stated.

He assessed that "it is clear from this that, in this way, Serbia's European prospects are not just slowed down, but also brought into question." He pointed out, however, that "it is not the entire EU that is turning a blind eye to the situation in Serbia" and that the fact that several members of the European Parliament had shown interest in the "dictatorship" in Serbia, corroborated that.
