Serbien, mit seinen 6,9 Millionen Einwohnern, macht seit dem Jahr 2012, in dem es zum Bewerberland wurde, Fortschritte auf dem Weg zum EU-Beitritt. Trotz dieser Fortschritte hat Serbien noch drei große Hürden zu überwinden: Verbesserungen beim innerstaatlichen politischen Dialogs und Reformprozess, der Abschluss eines umfassenden Normalisierungsabkommens mit dem Kosovo* und eine stärkere Angleichung an die EU-Außenpolitik. Zwar hat Serbien 2022 für die Aussetzung Russlands aus dem Menschenrechtsrat ...

Serbien, ein Land mit 6,9 Millionen Einwohnern, macht seit dem Jahr 2012, in dem es zum Bewerberland wurde, Fortschritte auf dem Weg zum EU-Beitritt. Trotz einiger Fortschritte steht Serbien vor drei wesentlichen Herausforderungen: der Verbesserung des internen politischen Dialogs, dem Abschluss eines umfassenden rechtsverbindlichen Normalisierungsabkommens mit dem Kosovo* und der Sicherstellung einer besseren Angleichung an die Außenpolitik der EU. Im Juli 2022 wird voraussichtlich im Plenum über ...

Die EU eröffnete 2013 Beitrittsverhandlungen mit Serbien, einem Land mit einer Bevölkerung von 6,7 Millionen. Serbien hatte einen guten Start, aber der Fortschritt ist in den letzten Jahren ins Stocken geraten. Ungelöste regionale Fragen, insbesondere der Stillstand des politischen Dialogs mit Pristina, sowie recht beschränkte Fortschritte bei rechtsstaatlichen Reformen, blockieren die Beitrittsverhandlungen. Die Parlamentswahlen im Juni 2020 haben noch nicht die erwartete Dynamik gebracht, und es ...

Until recently, Serbia was considered a frontrunner among the western Balkan candidate countries. However, Serbian frustration at slow progress towards EU membership has opened a space for closer links with the Russian Federation and, more recently, China, shedding doubt on Belgrade's commitment to a European perspective.

Among the Western Balkan countries aspiring to EU membership, Serbia is seen as a frontrunner in terms of its democratic institutions, level of economic development and overall readiness for accession. However, in November 2018 opposition politician, Borko Stefanović, was beaten up by thugs, triggering a wave of protests that has spread across the country. Week after week, thousands have taken to the streets, accusing Serbian president, Aleksandar Vučić, and his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) of ...

After fighting broke out between government forces and separatists, the formerly Serbian province of Kosovo was transferred to United Nations administration in 1999. In 2008, Kosovo declared independence. However, Belgrade continues to view its former province as Serbian territory. Over 100 countries, including 23 EU Member States, have recognised Kosovar independence, but full recognition and membership of most international organisations are still a long way off. Both Serbia and Kosovo aspire to ...

In November 2018, the European Parliament is due to debate a resolution on the European Commission’s 2018 country report on Kosovo. The latest progress report notes that Kosovo has had limited success in bringing forward EU-related reforms. It calls on government and opposition to work together in order to implement them.

In November 2018, the European Parliament is due to vote on a motion for a resolution on Serbia's 2018 country report. The report acknowledges Serbia's progress in its accession process, but points to rule of law and freedom of expression as significant obstacles. Relations with Kosovo, another key issue, are also still a major challenge.
