At the same time, the leaders stressed that the progress of each country depends on meeting the Copenhagen criteria and the conditions of the Stabilisation and Association Process, as well as on other key factors such as democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights, the rights of minorities, and full co-operation with the UN war crimes tribunal.
Lideri su istovremeno naglasili kako napredak svake zemlje ovisi o ispunjenju Kopenhagenskih kriterija i uvjeta iz Procesa stabilizacije i pridruživanja, kao i o ostalim ključnim faktorima poput demokracije, vladavine zakona, poštivanja ljudskih prava, prava manjina, te pune suradnje s UN-ovim tribunalom za ratne zločine.
