Serbia and Kikinda on the European track
(Kikinda, November 17, 2009) Within ”outreach visits” of the EU member states Ambassadors to the local communities, in order to consider their needs and visit projects that are being implemented by the European Union, Ambassadors of Hungary and Slovakia in Belgrade, H.E. Imre Varga and H.E. Igor Furdik, and Head of the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Serbia, H.E. Vincent Degert, visited Kikinda last week. The EU delegation was officialy received by the Mayor of Kikinda, Mr. Ilija Vojinovic and the municipal executives.
Their Excellencies, the Ambassadors Imre Varga, Igor Furdik and Vincent Degert expressed their delight to be in Kikinda and confirmed their sincere and unreserved support to Serbia in its progress towards European integration, i.e. its accession to the European Union. Representatives of local self government presented the municipality to the guests and expressed their hope that the senior diplomats will do their best to help Serbia and Kikinda on their European road, for which they received a sincere approval.
At the press conference in the National Museum, the Ambassador Varga said that the European Union wants to present the possibilities it offers to the citizens of the EU candidate countries. ”We consider Serbia to be a very serious EU accession candidate and we support its aspirations on its Europen road, not only politically, but practically, by funding the projects and sharing knowledge and experience. Fast EU accession of Serbia is the national interest of Hungary. We support the abolition of visas and thawing of the Trade Agreement,” said Varga.
The Ambassador Furdik said: “I am glad to see you are determined and we shall do all we can to help you. We will be at your disposal regarding our experience as EU members. In your country we have implemented approximately 100 projects, whose value is around 10 million euro, of which three are in Kikinda”.
The Ambassador Degert expressed his satisfaction to be, as he pointed out, in one “very European region”. “Your region is European, not only according to its history and its multiethnicity, but also because it is located on the border with the two countries that are members of the European Union. So far around 1 million euro has been invested in seven projects in Kikinda and the surrounding area. This is just the beginning and I hope that in the future there will be more of them. Step by step we are reaching our joint objective. We must not forget that it is the citizens who are in the heart of these democratic processes”, pointed out Degert.
The Ambassadors visited the Technical school and the Vocational High school „Milos Crnjanski“, where they spoke with the students about the road Serbia must take to the European Union.
Srbija i Kikinda na evropskom putu (Kikinda, 17. novembar 2009.) U okviru „outreach poseta” ambasadora članica Evropske unije lokalnim zajednicama kako bi se sagledale njihove potrebe i obišli projekti koje realizuje Evropska unija, Kikindu su prošle nedelje posetili mađarski i slovački ambasadori u Beogradu, Nj. E. Imre Varga i Nj. E. Igor Furdik, kao i šef Delegacije Evropske unije u Srbiji, Nj. E. Vinsent Dežer. Delegaciju EU zvaničnika je primio predsednik Opštine Kikinda g. Ilija Vojinović zajedno sa opštinskim rukovodstvom.
Njihove ekselencije, ambasadori Imre Varga, Igor Furdik i Vinsent Dežer izrazili su zadovoljstvo što se nalaze u Kikindi i potvrdili da iskreno i bezrezervno podržavaju Srbiju na putu ka evropskim integracijama, odnosno njen ulazak u Evropsku uniju. Predstavnici lokalne samouprave predstavili su gostima opštinu i izrazili nadu da će visoke diplomate učiniti sve što je u njihovoj moći kako bi pomogli Srbiji, kao i Kikindi na evropskom putu, za šta su dobili iskrenu podršku.
Na konferenciji za medije u Narodnom muzeju, ambasador Varga rekao je kako Evropska unija želi da predoči svoje mogućnosti stanovnicima država, kandidatima za članstvo „Srbiju smatramo veoma ozbiljnim kandidatom za prijem u Evropsku uniju i podržavamo njene aspiracije na tom putu, ne samo politički, nego i praktično, finansiranjem projekata i prenošenjem našeg znanja i iskustava. Mađarskoj je nacionalni interes da se Srbija što brže učlani u Evropsku uniju. Podržavamo ukidanje viza, kao i odmrza-vanje trgovinskog sporazuma”, rekao je Varga.
Ambasador Furdik naglasio je: „Raduje me vaša odlučnost i pomoći ćemo vam koliko je to u našoj moći. Stojimo vam na raspolaganju, kada je u pitanju naše iskustvo kao skorašnjih članica Evropske unije. U vašoj zemlji smo relaizovali oko 100 projekata, čija je vrednost oko 10 miliona evra, od kojih su tri i u Kikindi”.
Ambasador Dežer izrazio je zadovoljstvo što se, kako je rekao, nalazi u jednom „vrlo evropskom regionu“. „Vaš region je evropski, kako po istoriji, tako i po svom multietničkom sastavu, ali i po tome što se nalazi na granici dve države koje su članice Evropske unije. Do sada je u sedam projekata u Kikindi i okolini uloženo oko jedan milion evra. To je tek početak i nadam se da će ih u budućnosti biti mnogo više. Korak po korak ostvarujemo zajednički cilj. Nikako ne smemo da zaboravimo da su upravo građani u srži ovih demokratskih procesa”, istakao je Dežer.
Ambasadori su posetili i Tehničku školu i Srednju stručnu školu „Miloš Crnjanski“, gde su sa učenicima razgovarali o putu u Evropsku uniju.
