EU High Representative Javier Solana stated that, although Belgrade and Pristina did not reach an agreement during the negotiations under the auspices of the Contact Group, "this does not mean we cannot continue our search for bilateral agreements between the two sides and the European Union," adding that the EU will continue to do so, with the aim of guaranteeing security in the Western Balkans. Slovenian Minister Dimitrij Rupel said the majority of the EU's ministers have spoken in favor of Serbia's integration with the EU as soon as possible, of the signing, in a month or two, of the Stabilization and Association Agreement and, after that, of Serbia's becoming a candidate for EU membership. Rupel pointed out that the debate about Serbia was long and thorough, reiterating that the final decision on the level of Belgrade's cooperation with the Hague tribunal was up to the EU.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
