Serbia's EU membership hinges on its strategic choices, Kallas said after meeting Vučić and government officials in Belgrade, stressing the need for concrete reforms.

Serbia's EU membership "remains a strategic goal" yet depends on a "geostrategic choice" of direction, Kallas said Thursday after meeting Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and government officials in Belgrade, the first stop on her broader Western Balkans(*) tour.
