European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia Jelko Kacin told SETimes it would have been better had Belgrade taken action earlier, instead of waiting until the last minute. "[Nevertheless], conditions have been created for December 9th to change the opinion of countries which believe Serbia does not deserve candidate status."
Izvestilac Saveta Evrope za Srbiju Jelko Kacin kaže za SETimes da bi bilo bolje da je Beograd ranije preduzeo korake, umesto da čeka poslednji trenutak. „Ipak, stvoreni su uslovi da se 9. decembra promeni mišljenje zemalja koje smatraju da Srbija ne zaslužuje status kandidata.“
