He was also quoted as telling Jeremic that Serbia could join the EU in 2018, which would coincide with Bulgaria's first-ever presidency of the bloc and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
On je takođe rekao Jeremiću, kako prenose mediji, da bi Srbija mogla da se pridruži EU 2018, što bi se podudarilo sa prvim bugarskim predsedavanjem blokom i 100. godišnjicom okončanja Prvog svetskog rata.
