Finnish Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb has told daily Vecernje Novosti that the EU must show more understanding towards Belgrade. He said that Serbia was cooperating very well with the Hague Tribunal. “Serbia deserves EU’s support” Stubb added that Serbia’s European integration was of strategic importance to the EU. “It is extremely important that the EU shows its leadership in terms of foreign policy. It is very important to begin implementing the Stabilization and Association Agreement with Serbia, to ratify it, and the Interim Trade Agreement along with it,” he said. He said that no one had mentioned the name of Ratko Mladic at the EU Council of Ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg except Holland, as a condition for continuing Serbia’s EU integration. “Serbia was commended for arresting 44 of the 46 Hague fugitives that are awaiting trial or have already been tried. There is a high awareness of the fact that Serbia is cooperating very well with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague,” Stubb underlined.
