Ljajić: Serbia's chances of signing SAA better than evens

Rasim Ljajic says that Serbia's chances of signing the SAA on January 28 are good. The labor and social policy minister is confident of Serbia's prospects of signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) next month with the EU, even without Ratko Mladic in the Hague. Ljajic: Serbia's chances of signing SAA better than evens "I think Holland and the UK are pretty isolated when it comes to insisting on Mladic, but Serbia is aware that that commitment awaits us in further European integration.That’s why Serbia won’t give up the hunt for him,” he told daily Vecernje Novosti. Ljajic, who also heads the Action Team for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal, said that the team had agreed on a new method of work and operation. “I can’t go into details, but it concerns a whole series of new measures and operational activities aimed at making our search for the Hague fugitives more effective. We want to improve our work and the coordination between security services, as well as other segments involved in carrying out these activities,” he said. Rasim Ljajic (Tanjug, archive)
