Summary/Abstract: First of all, I would like to underline that, from my perspective, I am a German member of the European Parliament, representing Green European fraction, from my perspective it is good that you underline that the idea of the membership in the EU is Serbian idea. And that there is still strong commitment to achieve it. So, based on the experiences from the last 10 years, I think on both sides, on those negotiations, if they are opened in the future, we need true commitment. And for the European side, I dare to say, even if representing only a small political group in the European Parliament, which is not the most powerful institution, when it comes to foreign affairs in Brussels, the EU Europeans during the last 5 years at least maybe, took it a bit too easy what is going on with negotiations and preparations, especially of negotiations and what was going on in their neighbourhood in the Balkans, and also in the Eastern neighbourhood in between EU and Russia.
