BRUSSELS — European Union chief Donald Tusk says Serbia needs to stick to good 
governance and anti-corruption reforms as part of its drive to become an EU 
member, but couldn't promise a fixed timeframe for joining.

After talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Friday, Tusk said that 
any timing will depend on how fast Belgrade can push through reforms.

Tusk said, however, that the ultimate goal was clear with "the end game of the 
dialogue and Serbia's reform efforts is full membership."

Vucic acknowledged that for the time being, with the EU still regrouping in the 
wake of Britain's decision to leave the bloc, "it is not possible to get an 
exact date."

Serbia started its accession talks three years ago.
