"Ako Srbija ne dobije kandidatski status u martu, onda će se pregovori vjerovatno zamrznuti na najmanje šest mjeseci, čime se gubi veliki dio zamajca koji je do sad stvoren," dodao je Bancroft.
"If Serbia does not gain candidate status in March, then the negotiations will likely freeze for at least six months, thereby losing much of the momentum that has been created thus far," Bancroft added.
