The Council of Ministers of the European Union (EU) has today approved the final decision to change the negotiating framework for membership with Serbia, making its acceptance conditional on the normalization of relations with its neighbor, Kosovo.
This change has to do with chapter 35 of the negotiating framework, in which the implementation of the Agreement on the path towards the normalization of relations with Kosovo now becomes a formal condition for Serbia in the process of membership negotiations in the bloc.
The European Commission and the EU's External Action Service (EEAS), which had also proposed these changes, have welcomed the decision of the Council of Ministers to approve them, according to the EU's spokesperson, Peter Stano.
