Von der Leyen: Serbia will never join the EU without sanctions on Russia
According to reference news citing TASS news agency on October 15, the European CommissionThe PresidentUrsula von der Leyen said Serbia should join the EU’s sanctions on Russia, otherwise it would not be seen by the EU as a “reliable partner” and would not be able to join the EU.
Von der Leyen, who is on a visit to Serbia, said at a news conference: “It is time for Serbia to take concrete action to join the EU. We should see that we remain highly consistent on foreign policy, including sanctions against Russia. I congratulate you on reaching 61 percent in terms of alignment with the EU’s foreign policy, but need to be higher. We hope to see Serbia as a reliable partner.”
The EU enlargement system stipulates that one of the prerequisites for all candidate countries preparing to join the EU is to ensure that their foreign policies are 100% consistent with those of the EU. Candidate countries are obliged to support all diplomatic decisions of the EU, although they have no influence on the adoption of relevant decisions. Meeting this requirement does not ensure that the countries concerned will be able to join the EU.
