The European Union today suspended talks with Serbia on establishing closer ties, because Belgrade has failed to deliver fugitive General Ratko Mladic to the UN war crimes tribunal.

“Serbia must show that nobody is above the law and that anybody indicted for serious crimes will face justice,” said EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn.

He spoke after consulting with Carla Del Ponte, chief prosecutor of the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, regarding Serbia’s co-operation with the court.
