Mündliche Erklärungen zur Abstimmung

  Cristian Terheş (ECR). – Madam President, colleagues, Serbia is part of Europe, and we must help this country to pursue its goal in being part of the European Union.

I was in Serbia a few months ago during the presidential elections, and I talked to many Serbian citizens, as well as with the President of Serbia. Unfortunately, with our position here, we put this country in a situation without escape. On one side, we are pressuring this country to do certain things against its own interests. And on the other side, the only support that this country receives in the Security Council is from Russia because of the issue of Kosovo.

I think if we listen more to their problems and to their concerns, and we open our eyes to the actual situation in Balkans, we could help this country pursue its European goals.
