"Getting the status of candidate"

Posted 02.03.2012.


European Movement in Banat with great pleasure welcomes the status of candidate for EU membership. In front of all of us are huge tasks. It is necessary to get as soon as possible the date of negotiations for EU accession. It means a lot of work and a lot more unity, and census. We can be satisfied for obtaining this status, since there was no consensus in our country for obtaining this status. We are a unique country that has acquired the status even without the support of half the members, ie. Political parties. We expect the harmonization of legislation with EU standards, economic reforms and particularly sensitive issue of national minorities. Even now we will have access to the new funds regarding education and agriculture; also we must be aware that this time will be different pressures by smaller countries, as we have already seen the example of Romania. Currently, the most important thing is that the rating of the country has been improved and that will happen due to higher investment will come, because the world economy makes the investments only in countries which are safe for capital.
