"A positive decision on Serbia's candidacy could have led the Balkans into a calmer year and resulted in more attention being devoted to European and less to Balkan problems in the countries of the region," Simic said.
„Pozitivna odluka o kandidaturi Srbije mogla je da uvede Balkan u mirniju godinu i dovede do toga da se u zemljama regiona više pažnje posvećuje evropskim, a manje balkanskih problemima“, rekao je Simić.
