22 January, 15:28The Strategy will include general guidelines for a faster process of integration of all countries in the region, as well as more specific evaluation dates for Montenegro and Serbia.
According to the indicative timeframe of the European Commission, 2019 will be crucial for the countries of the so-called WB6. The document on "comprehensive normalization of relations" between Serbia and Kosovo is expected to be signed that year, while Albania and Macedonia should open accession negotiations with Brussels, and Bosnia and Herzegovina will receive the status of candidate for membership in the European Union. The same year will be crucial also for Montenegro and Serbia in negotiating the so-called "blocking" chapters 23 and 24 that refer to the judiciary and fundamental rights, and justice, freedom and security.
