Da bi se to desilo, izvještaj Evropske komisije (EK) mora pokazati da je zemlja ostvarila napredak u provedbi reformi u oblastima vladavine prava i temeljnih prava, a posebno u borbi protiv korupcije i organiziranog kriminala.
For that to happen, the European Commission (EC) report must show that the country has made progress in the implementation of reforms in the areas of rule of law and fundamental rights, and particularly in the fight against corruption and organised crime.
