The EU Presidency warmly welcomes the clear victory of pro-European forces at the Serbian general elections. It welcomed the peaceful and orderly conduct of the elections, which were, according to the first assessment, carried out in a free and democratic manner.
It hopes that a new Government will soon be composed with clear European agenda.
Provided that the necessary conditions are met and as stated in Council Conclusions of 29 April 2008, this should enable Serbia to advance further on its EU path, including the candidate status.
The EU looks forward to the new Government to engage constructively in regional cooperation.
