When Serbia signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU before the parliamentary elections in April 2008, officials in Belgrade did not expect four years to pass before candidate status was granted.
Kada je Srbija potpisala Sporazum o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju (SSP) sa EU pre parlamentarnih izbora 2008. godine, zvaničnici u Beogradu nisu očekivali da će proći četiri godine do odobrenja statusa kandidata.
