The year 2025 is just an indicative date for Serbia’s full EU membership

Jean-Claude Juncker says that 2025 is not the year when Serbia and Montenegro "would have to" join the EU - but rather "an indicative date, an encouragement." Juncker said it was wrong to represent him and the European Commission as having said that Serbia and Montenegro must be in the EU by 2025. That is an indicative date; an encouragement so that the parties concerned work hard to follow that path," he said, the EC president said in Strasbourg before the unveiling of the EU's enlargement strategy. He also said that Serbia and Montenegro, as countries that advanced most, received "a new date that should speed things up."
