“It is too early and somewhat pointless to comment on Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz’s next report.”
“It is difficult to say what is going to happen in June, because it is still far away,†Head of Serbia’s Office for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal DuÅ¡an Ignjatović told Tanjug.
Doubts regarding Serbia’s cooperation with the Hague Tribunal will be removed in February, said Deputy War Crimes Prosecutor Bruno Vekarić.
“The War Crimes Prosecution is in constant contact with the Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz,†he pointed out.
Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz’s stand is that Serbian secret services did not do enough to arrest the fugitives, Deputy PM Božidar Äelić said.
“Without ascertainment of full cooperation with The Hague there will be no beginning of negotiations on Serbia’s EU membership,†he told daily Blic.
Rasim Ljajić said on Wednesday that Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz “confirmed he wuold continue to criticize Serbia”.
This happened in his address to the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Policy, said the Ljajić, who heads Serbia’s National Council for Cooperation with the Hague.
The key to arrest of Ratko Mladić is in Belgrade, thinks Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz.
He also said that he did not wish to “play a role of somebody who is slowing down†Serbia’s progress toward the EU.
Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor says that the Serbian authorities “can and must†do more in order to arrest Hague indictees Ratko Mladić and Goran Hadžić.
He told Voice of America (VOA) that cooperation with Serbia was good but that it needed to be more active and rigorous in terms of arresting the remaining Hague fugitives.
Government Hague cooperation office chief Dušan Ignjatović says the new report of Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz is objective and mainly positive.
“At this point it was not possible for Serbia to get a better report considering that the two remaining Hague fugitives are not arrested yet,” Ignjatović told RTS in Belgrade late on Tuesday.
War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir VukÄević said Friday that he believed that an opportunity to arrest Ratko Mladić was missed in 2006.
He added that Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz shared his opinion and that the persons responsible would be identified.
Hague cooperation action team coordinator Vladimir VukÄević says he expects Serge Brammertz’s report to be “fair”. Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz’s report to the UN Security Council will be officially presented on December 6.

Deputy War Crimes Prosecutor Bruno Vekarić Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz will base his report on whether two remaining indictees have been arrested.
The report is important for Serbia’s application for accession in the European Union, but the arrest of Mladić, who is indicted for the murder of 8,000 people and who costs Serbia EUR 160 per capita, is also a moral obligation, Vekarić told B92 in Belgrade on Tuesday.
Analysts assess that Belgrade does not have any important news for Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammerz who will visit Serbia tomorrow.
They say that the main topic of the talks will be arrest of the remaining Hague fugitives.
Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz called for increased efforts to apprehend war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladić and turn him over to the international court. He made the statement in Sarajevo on Monday after meeting with Valentin Inzko, high representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina, who informed him about political developments in the country.

Rasim Ljajić says he would “like to know the specific remarks of Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz regarding Serbia’s cooperation with the Hague Tribunal”.
The president of the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal said that the remarks in question would have to concern issues “apart from the fact that there is no final result meaning that Ratko Mladić is not in The Hague”.
The Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz said that “conditioning and pressure” remain central to the arrest of fugitives, particularly Ratko Mladić. In a speech before the European Affairs Committee of Dutch parliament in The Hague, Brammertz said that Mladić and the other fugitive, Goran Hadžić, are “within reach” of the Serbian authorities.
Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz has stated that arrest of Ratko Mladić must remain a condition for Serbia’s accession into the EU.
He has called upon the EU to keep exerting pressure on Belgrade authorities to arrest the Hague indictee.
Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz’s negative assessment regarding Serbia’s cooperation is “surprisingâ€, says Rasim Ljajić.
The head of the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal told B92 in Belgrade on Tuesday that the prosecutor’s evaluation completely contrasted his previous reports.
Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz is not satisfied with Serbia’s cooperation regarding Ratko Mladić and Goran Hadžić. He said that Belgrade must try harder to locate and arrest them.
The Hague Tribunal has denied allegations that an investigation against former Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte and other prosecutors was launched. The announcement points out that the Trial Chamber has ordered appointment of an amicus curiae who would investigate possible intimidations and pressures exerted by some of the prosecution’s investigators.
