Speaking at a gathering in Vienna dedicated to "North Macedonia's new perspectives," the North Macedonia prime minister, Zoran Zaev, pointed out that the solution that Skopje and Athens found to their long-standing dispute "could be encouraging for Belgrade and Pristina to continue the dialogue."
Hahn said that at present North Macedonia is the only country in the Western Balkans that has no disputes with its neighbors and that it is "more stable than other parts of the region."
"They are constantly asking me who will join the EU first, and my answer is always the same - it's a merit-based process, based on the regatta principle and the speed of accession depends on who is making the most progress on this path," said he.
"We started negotiations with Serbia and Montenegro, and currently these countries are formally the most advanced on this road, but this does not exclude the possibility that North Macedonia will succeed in compensating for the lag, because it is the only country that has no bilateral disputes with its neighbors," Hahn said.
"In the European Commission's strategy for the Western Balkans, we have clearly stated that we will accept new members only if they do not have bilateral conflicts. We are not ready to import conflicts," he said.
Hahn pointed out that there is also political stability in North Macedonia, because the opposition is ready for dialogue in the Assembly, which, he noted, he would like to see "in other countries of the region, too."

Hahn should not count his chickens before they hatch. He would do well to wait until after the EU elections' results are out before predicting . Last I heard nationalist parties with anti-foreigner, anti-enlargement sentiments are predicted to win. Where would that leave Macedonia (or any other Balkan country) then?
(lowe, 23 May 2019 17:25)
"North Macedonia might overtake Serbia on EU path" ...That would be the best thing that would ever happen to the Balkans. We would have a mass exodus of albanians with their 4 citizenship's existing for the greener pastures of Western Europe... Good luck with that. Johannes Hahn can you please tell us what we can do to help speed up the process?

If Macedonians wish to survive the onslaught of Albanian over population, and not lose its Christian Faith, Culture and Language, it should join Serbia as the state of North Macedonia in a special arrangement within Serbia. Unless that happens, goodbye Macedonians... you will have the same fate as the Serbs in Kosovo.

Who....you are another history revisionist. Are you saying that Serbia is responsible for the collapse of Yugoslavia..??
Didnt the Croats have their own nazi Croatia in WW2? Albanians have for many decades wanted an independent Kosovo....right? Preperations for the break up of Yugoslavia was planned in the 1960s. As soon as the Soviet collapsed the Croats and Slvenians could not wait to break up Yugoslavia. Serbia was the only republic who wanted to keep Yugoslavia together. I also know that soon after the collapse of the Soviet the idea of Yugoslavia joining the EU was mooted and discussed in Belgrade. Croatias plan was to always have a pure Catholic Croat nation, free of other ethnic groups, particularly Serbs. They started this policy in 1941 with German help and finished it in 1995.....again with German help.
Albanians keep saying half the Balkans belongs to them through some stone age tribe...
As fot Montenegro that country has been purchased by the western powers.
Your claim that the break up of Yugoslavia is Serbias fault is absolute crap and BS. Stop spreading blatent lies. If you were pinoccio your nose would be a mile long by now....

Tom.....a 2018 opinion poll conducted by Faktor Plus in Serbia showed that 34% of the public supported Serbias EU membership. That is a 4% drop from the previous year.
It appears that the majority of the Serbian population is against joining the EU. That opinion poll also showed that only 1% believe that Serbia would by accepted into the EU by 2025.
You see Tom, you need to research and read before coming out with general rubbish.

Wishing the best of luck to North Macedonia and hopefully it will be an EU member soon. Serbia on the other hand, is unlikely to join because of the KiM issue, however, just keep sending accession funds while Serbia continues to strengthen ties with Russia and China, as this is where the future lies.
China's technological progress is surpassing that of Western nations, so much so, that they are beginning to restrict and sanction it, however, that will only set them backwards while Serbia rides this wave and benefits from it. I am so happy that Serbia has chosen the future while the old world order is crumbling away.

Johannes, this was not what you said four weeks ago. You said that Serbia is on a steady route with half a decade away from EU, you said N Macedonia is one and a half decade away and Albania three decades away. Serbia province was not mentioned.
(Staff, 20 May 2019 15:34)
The EU is corrupt and dictates to smaller nation members. This is why we voted to leave in the UK.
As far as I can see most of the recent members, such as Croatia, Bulgaria, Rumania, etc have had little benefit from joining. By that I mean their national debt is way bigger than before they joined.
They do as Germany and Brussels tells them. They must join Nato (to send their soldiers to far away places to fight for mainly US interests). The level of corruption in these nations is amazing. But ask older members....such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc, just how good the EU has been for them...!!

Makedonija has reduced its self to an all time low.

Serbia will not swallow like the rest of the Balkan puppets
(Smart Serb, 20 May 2019 14:27)
One just has to take a quick look at the Serbian comments in order to come to the conclusion that indeed, Northern Macedonia will join the EU before Serbia.
The only reason talks were opened early was to give a carrot after the secession of Kosovo. Talks are meaningless - they integrate countries in the EU within a year if that's on the EU agenda.
For the rest, it seems that the propaganda of the SNS regarding the economy of Serbia is having a strong impact on the simple-minded (as confirmed per comments). As they truly believe Serbia is an economic powerhouse. Must be youngsters that haven't received their first paycheck.
In the meantime - I think the moderator should refrain from posting blatant racism in these comments. But then again, nothing much would be posted in this forum.
(Comment, 20 May 2019 14:26)
In the wider picture this is a veiled threat - do as we say else ....
One wonders if Zaev was not successfully imposed by likes of EU technocrats such as Hahn and the ilk then no doubt we would perhaps have seen insurgency in Northern Macedonia, surprise surprise a conflict to stop progression.
Lie down and roll over completely and wow progress to go!
Perhaps Hahn is revealing too much of the reality with his poorly chosen example?

Yes, yes, we all know how much the EU just looooves their little albanian friends in Kosovo*. Lol :) After all these years, still no visa liberalisation. Still no investments from foreign companies, still over 30% unemployment and 20% who live below the poverty line. I bet moving back to your native homelands in the slums of Kurdistan is looking like a good idea?? lol

I think this has some truth to it; however, there is one caveat that could derail this for the Macedonians - the fact that they have been infested with a high Albanian population in recent years. With Europe's disdain for the Albanians, this could very well make membership difficult for our Macedonian Brothers. Get rid of your trash first, then the opportunity to get into the EU increases exponentially. We're good for now, not much interest to get into the EU for us Serbs, but we wish you luck.

I think this has some truth to it; however, there is one caveat that could derail this for the Macedonians - the fact that they have been infested with a high Albanian population in recent years. With Europe's disdain for the Albanians, this could very well make membership difficult for our Macedonian Brothers. Get rid of your trash first, then the opportunity to get into the EU increases exponentially. We're good for now, not much interest to get into the EU for us Serbs, but we wish you luck.

As far as the US media goes the world revolves around America. So I guess you know very little.....but not your fault.
No, please inform yourself about the Serbian public. They most certainly do not wish to join the EU. Now then.....what evidence do you have to the contrary..???
You seem like the typical Albanian who just spouts off without checking anything or informing yourself......

(Albanian American, 20 May 2019 18:37)
One just has to take a quick look at the Serbian comments in order to come to the conclusion that indeed, Northern Macedonia will join the EU before Serbia.
The only reason talks were opened early was to give a carrot after the secession of Kosovo. Talks are meaningless - they integrate countries in the EU within a year if that's on the EU agenda.
For the rest, it seems that the propaganda of the SNS regarding the economy of Serbia is having a strong impact on the simple-minded (as confirmed per comments). As they truly believe Serbia is an economic powerhouse. Must be youngsters that haven't received their first paycheck.
In the meantime - I think the moderator should refrain from posting blatant racism in these comments. But then again, nothing much would be posted in this forum.
(Comment, 20 May 2019 14:26)
Wishing the best of luck to North Macedonia and hopefully it will be an EU member soon. Serbia on the other hand, is unlikely to join because of the KiM issue, however, just keep sending accession funds while Serbia continues to strengthen ties with Russia and China, as this is where the future lies.
China's technological progress is surpassing that of Western nations, so much so, that they are beginning to restrict and sanction it, however, that will only set them backwards while Serbia rides this wave and benefits from it. I am so happy that Serbia has chosen the future while the old world order is crumbling away.
(Zoran, 20 May 2019 14:27)
Yes, yes, we all know how much the EU just looooves their little albanian friends in Kosovo*. Lol :) After all these years, still no visa liberalisation. Still no investments from foreign companies, still over 30% unemployment and 20% who live below the poverty line. I bet moving back to your native homelands in the slums of Kurdistan is looking like a good idea?? lol

Tom.....a 2018 opinion poll conducted by Faktor Plus in Serbia showed that 34% of the public supported Serbias EU membership. That is a 4% drop from the previous year.
It appears that the majority of the Serbian population is against joining the EU. That opinion poll also showed that only 1% believe that Serbia would by accepted into the EU by 2025.
You see Tom, you need to research and read before coming out with general rubbish.

One wonders if Zaev was not successfully imposed by likes of EU technocrats such as Hahn and the ilk then no doubt we would perhaps have seen insurgency in Northern Macedonia, surprise surprise a conflict to stop progression.

Perhaps Hahn is revealing too much of the reality with his poorly chosen example?

"EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn has repeated that countries cannot join the EU without solving bilateral problems."
Johannes, this was not what you said four weeks ago. You said that Serbia is on a steady route with half a decade away from EU, you said N Macedonia is one and a half decade away and Albania three decades away. Serbia province was not mentioned.
(Staff, 20 May 2019 15:34)
The EU is corrupt and dictates to smaller nation members. This is why we voted to leave in the UK.
As far as I can see most of the recent members, such as Croatia, Bulgaria, Rumania, etc have had little benefit from joining. By that I mean their national debt is way bigger than before they joined.
They do as Germany and Brussels tells them. They must join Nato (to send their soldiers to far away places to fight for mainly US interests). The level of corruption in these nations is amazing. But ask older members....such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc, just how good the EU has been for them...!!

Who....you are another history revisionist. Are you saying that Serbia is responsible for the collapse of Yugoslavia..??
Didnt the Croats have their own nazi Croatia in WW2? Albanians have for many decades wanted an independent Kosovo....right? Preperations for the break up of Yugoslavia was planned in the 1960s. As soon as the Soviet collapsed the Croats and Slvenians could not wait to break up Yugoslavia. Serbia was the only republic who wanted to keep Yugoslavia together. I also know that soon after the collapse of the Soviet the idea of Yugoslavia joining the EU was mooted and discussed in Belgrade. Croatias plan was to always have a pure Catholic Croat nation, free of other ethnic groups, particularly Serbs. They started this policy in 1941 with German help and finished it in 1995.....again with German help.
Albanians keep saying half the Balkans belongs to them through some stone age tribe...
As fot Montenegro that country has been purchased by the western powers.
Your claim that the break up of Yugoslavia is Serbias fault is absolute crap and BS. Stop spreading blatent lies. If you were pinoccio your nose would be a mile long by now....
