At least five EU states do not back opening Cluster 3 with Serbia

Published: July 3, 2026 at 11:04 AM. Updated: July 3, 2026 at 11:04 AM.

N1 and Danas, citing RFE/RL, report that the Netherlands officially does not support opening Cluster 3 in Serbia's EU talks, while diplomatic sources say at least five member states oppose it. The main reasons are rule of law, Serbia's failure to sanction Russia, and the assessment that opening the cluster now would not be merit-based.
