Davenport with Danas: Prime Minister Vucic is fully aware of what EU does for the benefit of Serbia

Serbia’s EU accession negotiations formally started a year ago in Brussels. Since then, much work has been done in terms of preparing negotiations of specific chapters and launching the key reforms. Such a momentum and level of ambition should be maintained in order for EU Member States to open the first chapters in 2015. Last year, the Government adopted numerous reform laws and several good action plans. Now it is time to implement what has been written on the paper; we all hope and expect 2015 to be the year of implementation. Reforms should start to show results that would help the recovery of economy so that, by the time next Annual Progress Report on Serbia is published, everyone can feel the effect of reforms without the need to read the Report – the Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Michael Davenport told Danas daily newspaper in an interview.
