The EU will not suspend the Interim Trade Agreement with Serbia, a part of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA). However, the agreement will not come into force until Serbia fully cooperates with the Hague Tribunal, Novi Sad daily Dnevnik writes today. "EU won't suspend accompanying SAA document" According to the daily’s sources in Brussels, the EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn managed to persuade the EU countries and leaders of the EU Council not to allow the implementation of the interim agreement on July, and to the, after only one day, suspend it. "It’s a very bad scenario. We would be sending a very bad message to Serbia and to its citizens,” Rehn was quoted as saying. He also added that it was essential for the EU to "keep a low profile about the interim agreement until Serbia meets all the necessary conditions for it to come into force, and thus help the pro-EU parties in Serbia,” Rehn said. The commissioner continued that the EU must act in a way that will demonstrate that “the ball is in Serbia’s court and that the speed of the European integrations depends entirely on Belgrade”. According to the daily’s sources, Rehn intends to write a statement, along with the future French presidency, which would be "very positive for Serbia". "The idea is to enable the interim agreement to be implemented even as early as August, if Serbia meets the requested conditions,” the unnamed EU diplomat said, and added this meant that the arrest of any of the Hague fugitives would create an atmosphere for the agreement to be applied. The same diplomat said that at this point, "some EU countries could start the process of ratification of the SAA". "The ratification in the Serbian parliament would not be necessary in that case, but a positive decision could be made", the report said. EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn (FoNet)
