President Boris Tadic stated on Tuesday evening that he cannot exclude the possibility that the Dutch will once again block Serbia's EU integration. But he added that Serbia is doing its best to arrest the Hague indictees. "Serbia doing best to arrest Hague indictees" "I hope that it will not come to that as we are doing everything to arrest the remaining Hague fugitives," Tadic told state broadcaster RTS. Regarding the future dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Tadic pointed out that he agreed with EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Catherine Ashton that the EU should conduct the negotiations. "If we hadn't made wrong political and economic mistakes in the past we would have more maneuvering space now, but there is a way to pursue an active foreign policy concerning Kosovo. There is a possibility that we will be requested to abide by certain conditions, but we need to carry out a policy that avoids traps," Tadic underscored. He said that Russia had been duly informed about all Serbia's moves regarding Kosovo and that there are no objections from its part. Tadic assessed that the earliest possible date of Serbia's EU accession is 2016, adding that it can easily turn to 2035 if "Serbia does not work hard." "I expect that the candidacy will be forwarded in the nearest future and I believe that we could obtain the candidate status at the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012," Tadic stressed, adding that he is satisfied with the work of Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic.
