Long and Uncertain Way of Serbia Towards Membership in the European Union

The paper examines the challenges at the present state of affairs of Serbia towards membership in the European Union. After a long and dubious game of Serbian aspiration towards membership in the European Union, from becoming “potential candidate for European Union membership” (2000), to signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement (2008) which, in the world of officials of the European Union “is a powerful signal to the people of Serbia that their future lies in Europe,” majority of people in Serbia are not sure in European Union readiness to respect Serbia on the basis of equal partnership. Most European leaders believe that the expanded European Union cannot function efficiently in the future unless the constitutional reform is finished. Having in mind the above mentioned facts we believe that the Serbia is being faced with long and uncertain way towards membership in the European Union.
