Sweden's Foreign Minister Carl Bildt Monday expressed his satisfaction with the results of Serbia's latest elections.
Speaking to Swedish Radio, the minister said the pro-European Union (EU) forces have won a clear victory in Serbia and the result is better than expected.
He maintained that even if there are tough negotiations ahead, he did not foresee a future Serbian government turning its back on Europe.
The sensitive question of the independence of Kosovo supported by most EU members despite Serbia's anger is an issue that has to be lived with, he added.
The pro-Western coalition claimed victory in Serbia's parliamentary elections Sunday. But the alliance is short of a majority to form a government and the disgruntled nationalists have pledged not to give up.
The pro-Western coalition, despite its opposition to Kosovo's independence, favors a speedy integration with the EU as it believes EU membership would help strengthen Serbia in the fight to maintain Kosovo.
