Geopolitical changes have accelerated the EU enlargement process, but the community expands when it is prompted, Serbia's minister for European integration, Tanja Miscevic, said. She pointed out that for nearly three years there has been no opportunity to open the cluster for negotiations between Belgrade and Brussels.

After Bulgaria joins Schengen, we will be surrounded by Schengen countries, but without being in Schengen, Miščević stressed.

Turkey has an important role to play in European security. This was said by Mehmet Bozay, Turkey's Deputy Foreign Minister, who participated in the "EU meets the Balkans". We should not tire people with talk about enlargement. It should be felt by the people that they are part of the EU. And the same should apply to member states, Bozay said.
