The long wait is due to the need for Balkan countries to comply with EU conditions, such as strengthening the rule of law, combating organised crime, corruption and illegal migration, strengthening the administrative capacity of border authorities and ensuring document security.
Dugo čekanje posledica je obaveze balkanskih zemalja da ispune uslove EU, poput jačanja pravne države, borbe protiv organizovanog kriminala, korupcije i nelegalne imigracije, jačanja administrativnog kapaciteta graničnih službi i obezbeđivanja bezbednosti dokumenata.
