"From a formal point of view, neither the new post of president nor the Lisbon Treaty will change anything as far as enlargement is concerned -- the requirements for candidate countries to get in and also the rules for the EU to admit are still the same," EU Council administrator Pier Paolo Settembri told Hurriyet Daily News.
"Sa formalne tačke gledišta, niti će nova funkcija predsednika niti Lisabonski sporazum promeniti bilo šta što se odnosi na proširenje -- uslovi za ulazak zemalja kadidata, kao i pravila EU za njihov prijem ostaju isti", izjavio je administrator Saveta EU Pjer Paolo Settembri dnevniku Hurriyet Daily News.
