That is why the Serbian government and Telekom are responsible for developing the company and creating new possibilities for the people to develop and implement their business ideas,

This is the only way to put all of the conflicts behind us and to open a new page of peace, tolerance and cooperation,

setimes 02-DEC-11

I want them to show maximum restraint in the future and to enter into discussions with political representatives of Serbs,

Serbia, as a large and important country, is of strategic importance for Europe. Therefore I believe that the demands imposed so far are high enough, including the one on the resumption of the Belgrade-Priština dialogue, which Serbian President Boris Tadić is trying to meet,

Hannes Swoboda [said:]: This is a welcome step forward for Serbia. It shows the sincerity of Serbian president Boris Tadic in meeting responsibility for the past. The EU should send positive signals to Serbia concerning its aspiration to become a candidate for EU membership. Decisions by Serbia in the past months deserve a positive reaction from Brussels.
