We expect from Serbia reforms, including in the areas of human rights and minority rights, outgoing Deputy Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariya Gabriel said at the EU Meets the Balkans Forum, which is organised by the European Liberal Forum, ALDE and the Atlantic Club of Bulgaria.
Mariya Gabriel urged Belgrade to adhere to the common European policy and insisted that Kosovo cannot be left in the background. "A unified EU response to Pristina's membership request will yield results", said Mariya Gabriel.

Among these obligations are constitutional changes and the inclusion of Bulgarians in the constitution. "Bulgaria will continue to work for the Western Balkans to become part of the EU", Mariya Gabriel explained.
