EU je obustavila pretpristupne pregovore sa Beogradom u maju 2006, zbog njene nesaradnje s Međunarodnim tribunalom za bivšu Jugoslaviju (ICTY), posebno zbog nehapšenja jednog od najtraženijih optuženika Ratka Mladića.
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.
