VIENNA, Dhu-AlQa'dah 12, 1436, August 27, 2015, SPA -- The EU is set to start accession talks with Serbia very soon, the 28-nation bloc's enlargement commissioner said on Thursday at a Western Balkans summit in Vienna, Reuters reported. "The atmosphere is such that we should very soon start official accession talks with Serbia," EU enlargement commissioner Johannes Hahn said after Serbia and its ex-province Kosovo acted to help overcome decades of animosity. They signed energy and telecoms pacts on Tuesday after EU-mediated talks in Brussels. Under the deal, Serbs in northern Kosovo will enjoy greater rights and be able to manage some issues such as the local economy and education, and have access to funding from Belgrade. --SPA 12:49 LOCAL TIME 09:49 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
