Acknowledging the achievements and defining the further tasks will contribute to keeping the impetus of the enlargement process and the issue of enlargement on the agenda even during the debate about the future of Europe.

The Commission’s package has defined the enlargement strategy for the coming period and has assessed the advancement of the candidate countries and of the potential candidate countries in their process of integration. We fully agree with the Commission putting the focus on the questions of rule of law and good governance, on the importance of regional cooperation and reconciliation, – which includes the issue of minority protection – and on economic planning coordinated with directions of crisis management in the EU.
