The agreement, which Serbia signed independently, represents the first practical example of the double-track approach to Serbia-Montenegro, approved by the EU last year, under which Brussels is allowing the two constituent republics to pursue separate economic development paths as they move towards membership in the Union.
Sporazum, koji je Srbija potpisala nezavisno od Crne Gore, predstavlja prvi praktičan primer politike dvostrukog koloseka za Srbiju i Crnu Goru, koju je EU usvojila prošle godine. Na osnovu dvostrukog pristupa Brisel dvema konstitutivnim republikama dozvoljava odvojeni put ekonomskog razvoja dok se približavaju članstvu u Uniji.
