Serbia risks isolation over Mladic
ill the Commission's suspension of talks with Belgrade lead to long term isolation for Serbia - or is it just a short term negotiating tactic? Many from the region hope that the door will be left open for a resumption of dialogue, as Greek MP Anna Diamantopolous told EuroNews: "The Balkans represent a very important place and history for the peace and development of europe. Serbia cannot be a blackhole in Balkans. We all know and we agree that there is a need to respect deadlines and the decisions of the European Union. But at the same time, European Union is a political entity and not a court. So, I believe there is still room for manoeuvre, for diplomatic work".
"All political forces in the government are willing to turn the general in. But they just don't know how to communicate it to the public. For them, it's a matter of doing what they have said they would do and yet keep domestic popularity. But this is part of the process of reconciling with the past"
