Diplomats say the European Union has moved closer to starting membership talks with Serbia, but said any further progress will depend on Serbia's full cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal.
Diplomats say the European Union has moved closer to starting membership talks with Serbia, but said any further progress will depend on Serbia's full cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg today agreed to ask the bloc's executive commission for an opinion on whether to launch entry talks with Serbia, according to diplomats.
The move is a first step in the long accession process.
But at the same time, the ministers said that any further steps in the accession process would require that all EU member states unanimously decide that Serbia was cooperating fully with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
The Netherlands had been concerned that by moving forward on Serbia's membership bid, the EU would lose leverage to press the hunt for fugitive indicted war criminals, including former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic.
The meeting comes after Serbia and Kosovo agreed in September to an EU-brokered dialogue to resolve outstanding issues, although Serbia has not recognized Kosovo's independence.
"We've been engaged with Serbia and with Kosovo in moving forward on discussion, and I hope those will start very soon," said EU foreign-policy chief Catherine Ashton, speaking as she arrived for the meeting, "and I am extremely pleased that [Serbian] President [Boris] Tadic and [Kosovo's] Prime Minister [Hashim] Thaci have really taken the spirit of this and want to move forward."
On the sidelines of today's meeting, Bozidar Djelic, Serbia's European affairs minister, pledged that his government would "do everything in its capacity to find and extradite" Mladic.

The Dutch are fearful that the EU will lose leverage to press the hunt for former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, indicted for war crimes during Bosnia's 1992-95 war.

This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr Karadzic and
others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.
Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states
instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as
with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United
Nations member states having a substantial conversation and openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in
Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and
others.
I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to
establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal
corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of
legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND
judicial appointments, for monetary funding.

and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we
contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and
other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its
decisions.”
((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative
from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for
international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives
present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate
topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked!
The idea was "let's discuss it." "It's a great topic to discuss."
Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is,
bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate
topic instead of an illegitimate toic which it is in the meeting that I
attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent
international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
In particular., since "Spain" was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading
financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts
in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, "Spain" must have
already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was "socially acceptable" for
conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and ICC
before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.
SPAIN's diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is,
disgusting morally!
SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN
"INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT."
I represented the state interests' of the Former Yugoslavia, in Darko Trifunovic’s
absence in those meetings and I am proud to undertake this effort on Serbia’s behalf.
