President of the European Council: Serbia Could Soon Make Progress in EU Negotiations

Costa remarked that Serbia is not fully aligned, but that there has been progress, especially regarding Ukraine.

"Serbia has been a very strong supporter of Ukraine, on a diplomatic, humanitarian, and military level, and is a very important ally in the Ukrainian people's fight for a just and lasting peace," Costa emphasized to the media ahead of the EU-Western Balkans summit, which will take place on December 18 in Brussels.

According to him, an important moment in EU accession is the negotiations between the European Commission and the candidate countries, while another crucial step is the unanimous approval of all member states for the next phase.

"It is necessary to respect the assessments of each member state. Therefore, the upcoming summit, not only the plenary session but also the special working dinner, is a very important moment for everyone to openly talk face to face, ask tough questions, and provide tough answers to find common ground and open the path forward," Costa said.
