SAA ratification for Serbia

The EU will proceed and ratify the Association and Stabilization Agreement for Serbia. The decision follows a positive report by ICTY chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz on the cooperation by Serbia with the international tribunal to capture Ratko Mladic. Outgoing Dutch foreign minister Maxime Verhagen confirmed the decision.

Croatia is being criticized by Brammertz for being reluctant to hand over the war diaries of former general Ante Gotovina. Croatia was supposed to arrest him as a pre-condition to start accession talks with the EU.
