EU foreign ministers are gathering on Monday (June 14th) to discuss a range of topics, including the situation in the Western Balkans. The meeting will be attended by Hague war crimes tribunal chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz, who will brief the diplomats on co-operation of countries in the region. Belgrade expects that after hearing Brammertz’s assessment, the ministers will green-light the start of ratification of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Serbia. Heading Serbia’s delegation at the meeting is Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Bozidar Djelic. The ministers are also expected to confirm the EU perspective of the Western Balkans.
