Serbia and the European Union (EU) are determined to fulfill their responsibilities on the country's path to EU accession, said head of the EU delegation to Serbia Michael Davenport on Thursday.
Davenport made the remarks at a reception organized on the occasion of the European Day that is celebrated across the continent on May 9.
"Enlargement of the EU continues. Now we have 28 members, and we will continue in that direction so that remaining countries from the region will become members, including Serbia," said Davenport.
Davenport said the strongest signal of the EU support to Serbia were two separate visits of high EU officials only days after the forming of the new government on April 27 - EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Stefan Fule, European commissioner for enlargement.
"You all heard their messages, but we all know that there is a lot more to be done," Davenport said.
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic and Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic attended the reception.
The EU celebrates its day on May 9, when historical declaration by French foreign minister Robert Schuman was brought in 1950 that created a new form of organization called a supranational community.
May 9 is celebrated by many countries, as well as Serbia also as the Victory Day, by which many countries commemorate the capitulation of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Endi
