The EU Enlargement Process: Serbia's Prospects for EU Membership
In addition to the difficult negotiations surrounding the governance of the eurozone, the December 9, 2011 EU Council meeting also considered the question of EU enlargement. At the meeting, the Council decided to delay granting candidate status to Serbia and Montenegro so that each country could have more time to address some of the pre-accession conditions. European Studies Senior Associate, Nida Gelazis, spoke with Belgrade-based Beta News Service about the implications of the Council’s decision for Serbia, the European Union, and the United States.
