Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

We need to take a considered approach and, apart altogether from Mr. Brammertz's assessment, the European process for the western Balkans is the most effective way to embed democracy and the standards to which we aspire. The current Government of Serbia is progressive and pro-European Union. If we set the clock back any further, we would put all that at risk for other countries in the western Balkans as well as Serbia.
