Royal Netherlands Embassy, Belgrade, Serbia

Minister Verhagen visits Serbia
Minister Verhagen of Foreign Affairs will visit Serbia on 21 July. He will have talks with his colleague Jeremić about relations with the Netherlands and the European Union. Serbia signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union. Partly at the insistence of the Netherlands the ratification of the SAA and the implementation of the Interim Agreement will only start when Serbia fully cooperates with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia. The Chief Prosecutor of the Tribunal Brammertz in his report to the UN Security Council in June concluded that full cooperation has not yet been achieved. The Netherlands acknowledges that Serbia's cooperation with the Tribunal has considerably improved. "That is why I go to Belgrade to discuss enhanced economic cooperation and cooperation in other fields with Serbia" - said Minister Verhagen (Foreign Affairs). "As long as Serbia does not fully cooperate with Tribunal, the SAA can not be implemented or ratified. The Netherlands remains strict in this." To date, two suspects indicted by the Tribunal have still escaped arrest. One of them is General Mladić.
Ministar Ferhagen u poseti Srbiji
Ministar inostranih poslova Ferhagen će posetiti Srbiju 21. jula. On će sa svojim kolegom Jeremićem razgovarati o odnosima sa Holandijom i Evropskom unijom. Srbija je sa Evropskom unijom potpisala Sporazum o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju. Delom i zbog insistiranja Holandije, SSP neće biti ratifikovan, niti će početi primena Prelaznog sporazuma pre pune saradnje Srbije sa Međunarodnim krivičnim sudom za bivšu Jugoslaviju. Glavni tužilac Tribunala Bramerc je, u svom izveštaju Savetu bezbednosti Ujedinjenih nacija u junu, zaključio da saradnja još uvek nije potpuna. Holandija potvrđuje da je saradnja Srbije sa Tribunalom značajno poboljšana. "Zbog toga idem u Beograd da razgovaram o pojačanoj ekonomskoj saradnji, kao i o saradnji sa Srbijom na drugim poljima" - rekao je ministar Ferhagen (inostrani poslovi). "Sve dok Srbija u potpunosti ne sarađuje sa Tribunalom, SSP ne može biti primenjivan niti ratifikovan. Holandija ostaje čvrsta u ovom stavu." Dve osumnjičene osobe, optužene pred Tribunalom, do danas uspevaju da izbegnu hapšenje. Jedan od njih je general Mladić.
