The results of the “European Orientation of Serbian Citizens” public opinion poll indicate that, if the referendum were to be held tomorrow with the question – “Do you support Serbian membership in the EU?”, 49% of the Serbian citizens would be in favour, 27% would be against, 13% would not vote, while 11% would be undecided.

Support for the reforms, as in previous years, is high; 66% of the respondents think that the reforms which are necessary for the EU accession should be implemented even if they were not considered a precondition for Serbian membership in the EU, but merely for the well-being of the citizens and improved state regulation.

Public health system reform (16%), fight against corruption (15%), Judiciary reform (15%), agricultural reform (11%) and public education reform (11%) citizens consider as the most important reforms which have the biggest influence on their everyday life.

The reforms that follow are better consumer protection (9%), as well as environmental protection (7%) and the protection of human rights (7%).

For the majority of respondents, 17% EU membership still represents more opportunities for employment, road towards the better future for young people (16%), the chance to move freely within the EU borders (14 percent), as well as the chance to regulate the situation in the country (12%).

The announcement also stated that the public opinion poll was conducted according to the standards of the Eurobarometer.
