Serbian authorities do not want EU membership, claims Savković

According to Savković, the current Serbian authorities are demonstrating a lack of genuine desire to integrate the country into the European Union. This assessment comes in the wake of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee (AFET) approving the final version of its report on Serbia.

The report, meticulously prepared by MEP Tonino Picula, outlines the committee's findings and recommendations regarding Serbia's progress, or lack thereof, in its EU accession process. Savković's statement implies that the content or the reception of this report by the Serbian government indicates a divergence from the EU's expectations and goals.

While the article does not detail the specific points of contention within the AFET report, Savković's comment suggests that the Serbian government's actions or policies are perceived as hindering, rather than advancing, the EU accession path. This could relate to various aspects, including democratic reforms, rule of law, foreign policy alignment, or regional cooperation.

The implication is that Serbia may be paying lip service to EU integration while pursuing other strategic objectives, or that its domestic policies are fundamentally at odds with the values and requirements of the European Union. Savković's statement frames the situation as a deliberate choice by the Serbian leadership to stall or abandon the EU integration process.
