04.02.2008
Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet is pleased over the democratic presidential elections held in Serbia, which saw a large voter turnout. He also welcomed the winning candidate Boris Tadić.
The foreign minister hopes that Serbia will continue integrating into the European Union, as this is the key to stable development in the region. “Through these elections, the Serbians demonstrated that they choose the path towards Europe,” said Paet.
According to the foreign minister, the European Union has expressed interest in advancing co-operation with Serbia. “Now it is essential to move forward and conclude the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the EU and Serbia, as this will hold Serbia on the European path,” he noted. The European Commission also plans to begin a visa dialogue with Serbia.
