Belgrade - Government of Serbia missed an opportunity to be a constructive negotiating partner of the international community in Vienna negotiations related to Kosovo status. In parallel its unwillingness to hand over Ratko Mladić to the Hague Tribunal led to the suspension of negotiations with EU.

The goal of that U turn is homogenization of the whole society in order to effect renuciation of negotiations and show that resolution of status of Kosovo shall be imposed to Serbia.

The foregoing was followed by new smear campaign against individuals and organizations expressing a different stand on Serbia's international committments and facing up to recent past.
