BELGRADE - European Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn said Monday he was confident about a speedy EU consensus on Serbia's progress on negotiation chapters 25 (science and research) and 26 (education and culture).

At a meeting with University of Belgrade officials and students, Hahn said his visit to Belgrade affirmed an EU assessment that Serbia was sufficiently prepared in the main research and education sectors.

He noted that Serbia's future and potentials depended on its youth, a statement said.

The key to the future and prosperity of Serbia is in your hands - it is up to you how dynamic and successful your country will be, and your talents, skills and creativity are decisive for Serbia's economic growth and competitiveness, Hahn said.
