The European Union has approved key agreements designed to bring Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina closer to EU membership.
Serbian President Boris Tadic is due to sign Serbia's Stabilization and Association Agreement later on Tuesday. EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg have said, however, they would not implement Serbia's text until Belgrade showed full cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague. Bosnia's agreement has to wait until it is translated into all 23 EU languages, a process likely to take several weeks.
