Even with all exertion to make this part of Europe move forward and assure better living standards there are still temptations and barriers being put up but certain people would like to push us back into conflict and back into the past, Nikolic said.

He exemplified this with Macedonian conflicts, the influx of migrants which lead Hungary to reach the poor decision of putting up a wall along its Serbian border and the recent "attempted lynching of the Serbian prime minister" at the commemoration for the Srebrenica victims.

Nikolic emphasized that Balkan countries should not only follow Europe's example but set one themselves by proving they can collaborate as good neighbors and solve their problems through dialogue.

According to him, Romania and Serbia have nothing to mutually forgive and forget. "This has always been the case and we will try our best to keep it that way", said Nikolic.
