Furthermore, the country only selectively aligns its foreign policy with that of the EU. These shortcomings mean that, despite the European Commission (EC) maintaining its opinion in July this year that Serbia is ready to open Chapter 3 (competitiveness and growth), some Member States are opposed. The country will be able to accelerate its accession negotiations if, following the elections, a government committed to integration with the EU emerges—snap parliamentary elections are due to be held in late October this year.}, title={Stagnation in Serbia’s integration with the European Union}, type={file}, keywords={Unia Europejska, Serbia, integracja europejska, reformy polityczne, praworządność, demokracja, sytuacja wewnętrzna}, }
