Barroso: Serbia and Kosovo might be proposed EU membership
Serbia and Kosovo might be proposed EU membership, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said in Athens after a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.
"We discussed the situation in Balkans, whose future is immediately bound with the European Union. Concerned about stability and security in the region, we should propose EU outlook to both Kosovo and Serbia," he said.
For his part, Mr Karamanlis said Greece would support all bids if the essential commitments are fulfilled by the aspirant countries, the AP reports.
Meanwhile, on April 7, Kosovo's parliament will vote on the Constitution.
The breakaway province of Kosovo proclaimed independence from Serbia on February 17. It has been already recognized by majority of EU member states and the U.S.
Greece said it will announce its decision later.
