Daily Blic writes that Serbia couldhave its Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU ratified in June without arresting Ratko Mladic by then. The Belgrade newspaper writes, citing sources in Brussels, that the EU could approve the ratification if Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz gives a positive report on Serbia’s cooperation with the Tribunal in June, which “leaves no room for suspicion that Serbia is not doing something that could lead to the arrest of Hague fugitives”. "SAA ratification without Mladic arrest" Holland’s stance is no longer as rigid as it was earlier, but Serbia also has the advantage of elections being held at that time in that country, continues the article. According to the daily’s sources, Germany is also "not making its stance known at this time". “We are all waiting for Brammertz’s report and if it is positive, in the sense that there are no actions that Serbia could have performed but didn’t, it will open the doors to the SAA,” the source said. Sources also tell Blic that Brammertz’s next report would be "more positive" than his last one. The report is expected to state that Serbia is “continuing to improve its cooperation with the Tribunal,” which would be a trend of improvement in relation to the last report when it said that Serbia “increased its level of activities”. Brammertz arrived in Belgrade on Wednesday and is expected to meet with President Boris Tadic, Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic and National Hague Cooperation Council President Rasim Ljajic.
