"Whether progress in the talks between Serbia and Kosovo, mentioned in the resolution, should figure as a factor when weighing the candidacy request will be subsequently decided by the Dutch government," Belgrade-based B92 quoted the diplomat as saying.
"Bi li napredak u razgovorima između Srbije i Kosova, spomenutih u rezoluciji, mogao biti čimbenik prigodom procjenjivanja zahtjeva za kandidaturu naknadno će odlučiti nizozemska vlada", izjavio je Verhagen, a prenio beogradski B92.
