Brussels, 01/02/2005 (Agence Europe) - The EU Troika, which met the Foreign Minister of Serbia-Montenegro, Vuc Draskovic, on Tuesday, noted that Belgrade “unfortunately” still does not meet its obligation to fully help the International Criminal Tribunal of former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to judge war crimes, Jean Asselborn, Council President, told the press. “Cooperation with The Hague is still not 100%. Without full cooperation with the Court, there will be no progress in coming closer to the EU, that's clear”, he admitted. Draskovic recognised that his government would have to make “significant progress” to achieve its European aspiration. Serbia hopes the Commission will, by spring, present its feasibility study on the conclusion of a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA), Draskovic said. On Kosovo, the EU restated its attachment to multi-ethnicity and to the protection of minorities. “These are fundamental principles” on which no compromise will be possible, he said, stressing that, for the EU, dialogue is the only way to move forward on the Kosovo problem. He confirmed that Kosovo will also be on the agenda of talks with President Bush on 22 February. Draskovic stressed that the future status of Kosovo was not mentioned in his talks with the EU but left no doubt that Belgrade will not accept independence for the province.
