Summary/Abstract: One of the substantial questions of the EU accession process, which has so far been fairly neglected in Serbia, concerns the correlation between the national policy making and coordination practices and the EU accession negotiations (as well as negotiations in the EU institutions after membership is achieved). The rationale behind the focus on this topic lies in the fact that the timing of the opening of negotiations with Serbia coincides with an evident growing interest on the part of the European Commission in the policy making aspects of horizontal governance reforms in candidate countries.
