Dutch foreign minister Maxime Verhagen will visit Serbia July 21. "I am going to Belgrade to talk about further cooperation with Serbia in the economic and other areas," Verhagen said.
He will discuss Serbia's relationship with the Netherlands and the EU but already indicated: "As long as Serbia does not cooperate fully with the tribunal, the SAA cannot be ratified. The Netherlands stands by this." Verhagen said the most recent report of ICTY prosecutor Serge Brammertz to the UN Security Council made it clear that while the situation has improved, "there is no full cooperation yet".
