The reports on the progress of the Western Balkan countries provoked numerous reactions in political circles in Brussels. Most of them criticized the European Commission for applying double standards as regards integration in the EU, that is, that with regards to some countries, like “Croatia and Serbia”, it turns a blind eye to the problems, while as regards other countries (like Macedonia) it emphasizes the problems. Others note that the European Commission had obviously made a decision to slow down the enlargement process and that for some unfathomable reason it tolerates the blockade of EU member countries, like Greece and Slovenia, the weekend edition of Utrinski Vesnik reports.
