The EU suspended the pre-accession talks with Belgrade in May 2006 due to its lack of co-operation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), particularly its failure to arrest one of its most wanted indictees, Ratko Mladic.
EU je zaustavila predprijamne razgovore s Beogradom u svibnju 2006. godine, zbog nedovoljne suradnje s Međunarodnim kaznenim tribunalom za bivšu Jugoslaviju (ICTY), a posebice neuspjeha da se uhiti jedan od najtraženijih optuženika Ratko Mladić.
