The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said that he is not an optimist and that he does not believe that Serbia will become part of the European Union by 2028.
“I wish all the best to Montenegro, but I don’t believe that they will be part of the EU until 2028, I don’t believe that we will either. We have EU interests that differ from ours from time to time,” said Vučić at the panel “The Rise of the Western of the Balkans in the EU”.
On a panel at the GLOBSEC conference in Prague, he said that Serbia cannot be part of the Union before 2030, but that “no one knows what could happen in the meantime”.
In the EU, he stated, “there is exhaustion on the subject of enlargement”, and Serbia still has steps to fulfill.
“I’m always pragmatic, I’m not a big dreamer, which means I’m interested in economic progress,” said Vučić.
