“We will see how many and which chapters would be opened in Serbia’s accession negotiations on 11 December at the Intergovernmental Conference in Brussels,” said Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Sem Fabrizi.

“Personally, I would like certain chapters to get opened as an indicator of Serbia’s good work, but it is 28 Member States that decide on the opening of chapters,” Ambassador Fabrizi said.

“The message we are sending is that you should concentrate on reforms. The opening of chapters occurs as a natural consequence of implemented reforms,” Fabrizi said.

He said that he would rather not comment on media speculation about the possible opening of two or three chapters at the Conference.

“I do not want to speculate about it. I would rather say that the talks are going on in Brussels and that the decision lies in the hands of Member States,” EU Ambassador Fabrizi said.
