He was also quoted as telling Jeremic that Serbia could join the EU in 2018, which would coincide with Bulgaria's first-ever presidency of the bloc and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
Također je kazao Jeremiću, kako prenose mediji, da bi se Srbija mogla pridružiti EU 2018. godine, što bi se podudarilo s prvim bugarskim predsjedavanjem Unijom i 100. godišnjicom okončanja Prvog svjetskog rata.
