As for the evaluation, I really want to be careful, "he said.All observers in and outside the tribunal agree that the policy of conditionality is an important factor and gave results. All agree that, especially with the support and encouragement from the EU, made significant progress in the former Yugoslavia. We would, therefore, that the EU continue with this approach, but must accurately separate court, the technical process, on the one hand, and the process of political decision-making, on the other. We all agree that the primary responsibility for the arrest of fugitives in the region, in general, and now especially in Serbia.
