Serbian Media: Belgrade Receives Agreement to Open Chapter 4 in Accession Talks

In the European Union, an agreement has been achieved for, in the accession talks with Serbia, to by the end of the year open up chapter 4 (free movement of capital), reported the Serbian media citing unofficial information in Brussels.

The inter-government conference, at which this new chapter will be opened in the accession talks of Serbia, will be held on 10 December in Brussels, reported Tanjug agency and the public service Radio Television Serbia (RTS).

Serbian officials, including President Aleksandar Vucic, have been insisting for some time now that Belgrade is ready for the opening of four chapters, but that due to the lack of political agreement within the EU on enlargement, only one chapter will be opened.

“Also technically ready for opening at this moment are chapter 2 (freedom of movement of workers) 21 (trans-European networks) and 14 (transport policy)”, reported the RTS.

In the course of the accession talks so far, which began in January 2014, Serbia has opened up 17 out of a total of 35 negotiating chapters and has preliminarily closed two. This year chapter 9 (financial services) was opened.
