The daily states that the third reason there will be no discussion of Serbia is Belgrade’s stances towards EULEX, since EULEX still does not encounter “sufficient constructiveness from Belgrade” in the field. Beta news agency reports today that the EU ministers will discuss the Western Balkans, with focus on Bosnia-Herzegovina. They are also expected to be informed about a meeting Brammertz held last week with the Czech presidency in Prague, about the Balkan countries' cooperation with the tribunal.
