Part 4 of 4: EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

RemovedEXPLANATORY STATEMENT

RemovedThis draft report provides Parliament’s response to the 2025 Commission report on Serbia. It reflects the events of the past year as well as more recent ones, including the Committee on Foreign Affairs’ mission to Serbia from 22 to 24 January 2026.

RemovedSerbia has been an EU candidate country since 2012. Since accession negotiations with Serbia began in January 2014, 22 out of 35 chapters have been opened. Serbia accepted the revised enlargement methodology in June 2021, but has made no progress on opening new clusters since December 2021.

RemovedIn recent years, Serbia’s progress towards EU accession has stalled, with concerns predominantly focused on the state of democracy and the rule of law. There are many urgent issues to resolve, particularly heightened political polarisation and tensions, the need for structural reforms addressing the rule of law, anti-corruption and other EU-related matters, and the necessity of reaching a comprehensive normalisation agreement with Kosovo, while achieving full alignment with EU foreign policy.

RemovedThe draft report also addresses important issues regarding the independence of key institutions and stresses the need to implement all outstanding commitments, including recommendations on key aspects of the electoral process, in an inclusive and transparent manner.
