The opposition does not share the ruling majority's optimism regarding the anticipated candidate status. "The candidacy is just a waiting room for EU membership, which Serbia is paying for with a portion of its territory, Kosovo," Democratic Party of Serbia spokesman Petar Petkovic told SETimes.
Opozicija ne deli optimizam vladajuće većine u pogledu očekivanog statusa kandidata. „Kandidatura je samo čekaonica za članstvo u EU, za koju Srbija plaća delom svoje teritorije, Kosovom“, rekao je portparol Demokratske stranke Srbije Petar Petković za SETimes.
