Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on the EU to keep insisting on Serbia’s full cooperation with the Hague. The New York-based watchdog dispatched a letter today to EU ministers ahead of their meeting scheduled for Monday 15 where one item of the agenda will be a review of Serbia’s cooperation with the UN courtin the Hague. HRW urges EU pressure over Hague “At this key stage in Serbia’s European integration, the EU must not in any way relax the terms for signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement with Serbia,” the letter says. “The EU must be persistent in demanding full cooperation from Serbia, including the extradition of Ratko Mladic. At this crucial point in the negotiating process, there must be no mention of relaxing the terms while the most wanted war crimes fugitives are still on the run,” HRW warns. The organization remarked that certain EU officials had made statements seen as attempts to lower the threshold of full cooperation for Serbia. In the letter, HRW quoted EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn as saying that full cooperation, as a condition Serbia had to meet in order to sign the SAA, involved “activities leading” to the arrest of the remaining fugitives, rather than the arrests themselves. Chief Hague Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte will attend the EU ministerial meeting and elaborate on her report regarding cooperation.
