[FONT=宋]The European Union, Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxsetwhich has been coaxing Serbia into a historical reckoning about its bloody role in the Balkan wars of the 1990s, gave a cautious welcome Wednesday to a declaration by the Serbian Parliament Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxsetthat condemned the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica. But it warned that what amounted to reluctant [FONT=宋]Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxset, latter-day contrition about the worst massacre in Europe since World War II was insufficient if Serbia wanted closer ties with the bloc. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=宋]For that, the E.U. foreign policy chief, Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-BoxsetCatherine Ashton, indicated, Serbia must hand over Gen. Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb military commander indicted more than 15 years Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxsetago on war crimes charges but still on the run. [/FONT]
[FONT=宋]After 13 hours of heated debate, the Serbian Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-BoxsetParliament late Tuesday passed a resolution that apologized for Srebrenica and acknowledged that more could have been done Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxsetto prevent the tragedy, but fell short of calling the killings a “genocide.” [/FONT]
[FONT=宋]Ms. Ashton and her colleague Stefan Fule, who is responsible for enlargement of the European Union, welcomed the apology Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxsetas an “important step” but reminded Serbia of its obligations to capture war criminals. The Dutch government, whose United Nations peacekeepers proved powerless to defend Srebrenica against General Mladic’s forces in July Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxset1995, is pressing the bloc hard for his arrest.

[FONT=宋]The Serbian Parliament’s declaration on Srebrenica calls for the arrest of Mr. Mladic and urges the authorities to intensify their efforts to [FONT=宋]Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxset find him. But in a sign of the obstacles ahead, some nationalist deputies in Belgrade lauded Mr. Mladic as a “Serbian hero” during the debate on the resolution. The Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, who was indicted in 1995 Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxseton genocide charges in connection with Srebrenica, is being prosecuted by the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague.

[FONT=宋]In their statement, Ms. Ashton and Mr. Fule described the vote in Serbia as part of “a process which is difficult but essential for Serbian society Scrubs-Season-9-DVD-Boxsetto go through.” They stressed that Serbia’s pledge to cooperate fully with the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague was “crucial” for completing an agreement that is a steppingstone to talks on Serbian membership in the European Union.
