The European Union on 27 February gave Belgrade until the end of March to arrest and extradite war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic or face "disruption" in its cooperation with Brussels, international news agencies reported the same day. "It is high time Serbia reached full cooperation with ICTY [International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia] that should lead to the arrest and transfer of Ratko Mladic," EU Enlargement Co mmissioner Olli Rehn said, according to Reuters.
"That is the way to avoid a disruption of negotiations, to avoid them being put on hold." Rehn added that if Mladic is not arrested by the end of March, a planned EU meeting with Serbian officials scheduled for April could be "put on hold," dpa reported. |
