Foreign minister tough on SerbiaFriday 28 March 2008 Foreign minister Maxime Verhagen has enough information to show that Serbia is not cooperating with the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague and is taking a tough stand on the country’s application to join the European Union, reports Friday’s nrc.next newspaper. Serbia must first extradite suspected war criminals before it can be considered for EU membership, the minister says in an interview. His comments coincide with a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Slovenia today and tomorrow. Slovenia had initially hoped to propose giving Serbia the status of an upcoming EU member as a ‘present’ to soften Serbia’s fury over the fact that most EU countries have recognised the breakaway state Kosovo, the paper says. In January the Netherlands also refused to sign an EU trade pact with Serbia, saying it wanted more cooperation over war crimes. In particular, the Netherlands wants Serbia to hand over former Serb military leader Ratko Mladic. ‘I have sufficient information to be able to say that no-one is taking too much trouble to arrest him,’ Verhagen told the paper. © DutchNews.nl Get the DutchNews.nl newsletter in your mailbox: Click here to subscribe
The Dutch are more against the Serbs entering European integration than they ever were toward the Germans integrating after WWII, which shows you the level of hypocracy. For how much longer are you Dutch and Belgians wanting to punish Serbs for Srebrenica? Mladic and Karadzic are not the only people to blame. The Netherlands and Belguim have been extremely one sided and anti Serb and Serbians will not forget that. By Nicholas Klinsman | March 29, 2008 11:27 PM Serbia should never be considered for EU membership until it decides to hand over Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic. Too many people have died as a result of those two monsters, and the number of people murdered by these two should include all the Serbian men who died in total vain for the idea of a greater Serbia. The EU is not preaching to Serbia; these two men belong in jail! As for Serbia's suffering, remember one thing lee coleman, you always reap what you sow! By John Lucic | March 30, 2008 12:52 AM Serbia does NOT meed the EU. The EU crapped all over international law, the country of Serbia and the Serbian people. The ONLY defense that the EU has is that it got a fair amount of its other EU friends to join in the theft of Serbian land to make the whole group feel better about its crime. Now, they can't understand why Serbia should remain mad and can't begin to understand why ANY country wouldn't want to join that wonderful EU gang that destroyed Serbia. I say, stand firm Serbia because, "what good is it for a man to gain the world if it results in his losing his soul". The Eu needs you FAR MORE than you need the EU. As for the Muslim Albanians, they will never thrive as people in Europe no matter how much money we throw at them and their stolen land. Within 10 years, Europe will say what it already knows, 'we should have never backed the Muslim Albanians in Kosovo'. The EU is a spineless organization that does ONLY what the US tells it to do!!!!! You broke your own charter, violated international law simply because the US told you to. If you had real guts, you would undo this folly of Independent Kosovo and tell the US to stay out of your EU!! You won't, you're weak.
