According to him, these questions should be discussed through talks with Serbian officials, and to concern should be expressed over them.
Slovenian President Borut Pahor is scheduled to visit Serbia on January 28 and 29, and Cerar said he expected him to discuss these issues with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
Cerar believes that Belgrade needs to clarify its relationship with Russia after the recent visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin, because, according to him, EU members are wondering what is happening in Serbia, when it comes to protests in Belgrade, and, considering Putin's visit - if Serbia is still serious about its European orientation.
"The visit itself does not mean that Serbia is moving away from its European path, but the intensified cooperation with Russia and internal affairs that border on a political crisis make it impossible to implement effective reforms," said Cerar.
He concluded that whatever Serbia decides to do, it will be its independent decision.
"However, it should announce whether it is still firmly on the European path, whether it wants to make every effort to find a solution for Kosovo through dialogue and whether it wants to be a stability factor in the Balkans," said Cerar.
Serbia will join EU when they have free election and democracy but for now they are doing great the poorest country on earth pert my much the seniors have the worst pensions in the world but the Serbian people Like to live this way do enjoy stay with Putin and eat once a week hahaha

Miro, the Serbian people will never join the EU which is going to be dead soon. We trust PUTIN a hell of a lot more than Angela and the rest of her CRONIES.

So you making 1.25 euro for every hour instead others 1 euro damn your so ahead from others I'm so "proud" of you!!

Perhaps you have not noticed the high standard of living in France where the demonstration are still going on. One person was interviewed and asked what these demonstrations are about? His response was "I earn 1,500 Euros per month and I cant feed my family".
Joy oh joy in joining the EU. Hey the good times are OVER.
(sj, 25 January 2019 14:09)
Who cares. If the EU doesn't like it they can always cancel the accession talks, but they wont LOL.

22 out of 28 countries voted NO for Kosovo to have visa free travel. (Ouups, that was classified.) :-)

Why would EU want a communist country in their union? Serbia's next step is to join the communist union (russia, north korea and the rest of third world countries with no basic human rights).

And your Albos have groveled and kissed western arse for so long its now a laughing stock on the world stage and yet you people have received nothing in return LOL. The west invests in Serbia proper but they have not even opened a can of soft drink in Kosova LOL.
(sj, 24 January 2019 12:01)
Don't worry, Serbia is still on the path to join the three ringed circus (European Union). Vucic's pay depends on it.
(Kosovo_Polje1389, 24 January 2019 02:52)
Why join the EU? Look at brexit. EU membership means give up your nation's sovereignty, give up border controls, give up your identity, give up your customs and traditions and be dictated on what you can or can't do.
Germany, France, UK and all western EU nations have been the nation of destination for their generous free health, welfare and housing systems for the refugees and free loaders. Now it's hit way past crisis point and far beyond repair. The nation's workers must work till death and there will be no pension and welfare for the taxpayers in the future apart from the politicians generous lifetime pension.
The rise of the far right parties will put a end to this.
Serbia, don't join the EU if you really want to subsidise non citizens and be submissive to France and Germany.

radical serbia will never be in EU path, accept to be tried on war crimes in the hague. We all know these monsters, criminals. time for the international community to bring bombing of serbia on the table again. serbia is still behaving like in millosevic era

How could it be when they still continue the war against the neighbor countries with Kosovo,Bosnia,Croatia,Macedonia and Montenegro how this could it be EU path.heard Dacic speech today and I can’t believe what I was hearing he clearly said we will continue the fighting Against Kosovo on Diplomacy level and that’s is against any Agreement and is Breach direct and indirect with EU policy on how could they be On EU path just with this.
Second one I think EU should now impose resolution and restrictions on Serbia’s Army as if not in next few years Will be to late as Russia is heavily arming Serbia and also Niss humanitarian center is Actually Russia base with highest technology equipments of spying on EU installed in there.
From there it can to hear better Europe as from Estonia sometimes it have Trouble.
(The Truth, 23 January 2019 15:12)
I think Serbia would like more clarity too beyond perhaps 2025 (Junckers) or enlargement only after the EU reforms itself (Macron) with no mention of when and what that means!
Of course Serbia had hoped the EU would have choosen to open more chapters but alas this too is lacking. Thus in the meantime Serbia is doing what is right for Serbia and sadly in my view the govt has continually been very explicit about its EU objective.
My view is it's a rotton carrot and its shocking how they are trying to thwart Brexit, no doubt Iceland rightly stepped back from joining the EU despite being able to sign up if it wanted to.

When all wanted nothing to do with Jugoslavia anymore because all thought EU was going to be "paradise"... free food, free money, prosperity, independent policy, etc....everyone took the opportunity to stick it to BG!
NOW we see a different outcome...it's BG, with it's own inititive, moving up economically...and all the other poor saps who thought Brussels was the answer, barking and complaining how could BG get so far ahead of them.
Slovenia - You wanted out, you got out. Your decision was respected...now quit complaining and sleep in the bed you made!
Srbija - keep up the good work...Friends with all, enemies with none!

Everyone knows that Radical-Serbjia is NOT EU QUALITY, Radical-Serbjia is like the Bastet child that is separated from the rest the Black Sheep within a Europe that is trying to unite
And Slovenia’s FM get front page in Radical-Serbjia newspapers today for making such a statement
[link] Now come everyone, we all know that Radical-Serbjia will be like a cancerous cell that will infect all the healthy cells if admitted within the EU without first being deradicalised! RADICAL-SERBJIA MUST FIRST BE GIVEN LARGE DOSES OF
