BELGRADE, April 8 (Hina) - The army of Serbia-Montenegro has
terminated cooperation with the army of the Republic of Srpska,
which is one of conditions for Belgrade's admission into NATO's
Partnership for Peace Programme, the defence minister of Serbia-
Montenegro, Boris Tadic, has said. #L#
"We have no more received any serious objections from the
international community regarding this topic," Tadic said on
Tuesday evening at a conference organised by the Atlantic Council
of Serbia-Montenegro in Belgrade.
The council's secretary-general, Veljko B. Kadijevic, said that
optimistic forecasts were that this new state union would join the
said programme in June this year.
Commenting on conditions which Serbia-Montenegro should fulfil,
Kadijevic said its cooperation with the Hague-based UN war crimes
tribunal (ICTY) "should bring about some concrete results" in
coming 30 days.
He added that another serious problem was the fact that Belgrade had
sued NATO member countries over the alliance's air strikes against
the then Yugoslavia in 1999, and suits Croatia and Bosnia-
Herzegovina filed against Belgrade. Kadijevic said there was an
idea about "annulling all accusations."
