Davenport: European Commission expected to publish Annual Reports on accession countries in mid-November

Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Michael Davenport said the European Commission was expected to publish its Annual Report on Serbia and other accession countries in mid-November.

“The European Commission prepares Annual Reports not only on Serbia, but also other countries in the enlargement process and we expected to see the Reports published in November, mid-November,” Davenport told press at the EU Info Centre following the send-off of civil servants selected for participation in the “EU scheme for young professionals in the Western Balkans”.

Davenport reminded that the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini on Monday presented the Report on EU Common Foreign and Security Policy to its Member States.

“When it comes to the Western Balkans countries, the EU highlighted its support to their efforts aimed at EU membership thus reiterating the support of all Member States,” Davenport said.

He said that EU CFSP was just one of many points of the enlargement Report concerning Serbia and other countries in the region.

EC Report deals with all aspects of the enlargement process, encompassing both political and economic criteria as well as the progress made in each of the 35 negotiating chapters, Davenport said.
