Fitch also said political risks were placing a significant constraint on the ratings, citing the Kosovo status issue, the Montenegrin independence referendum, problems in Serbia's co-operation with the UN war crimes tribunal, and the Kostunica administration's uncertain capacity to implement reforms.
Fič je takođe saopštio da politički rizici predstavljaju značajno ograničenje za rejting, navodeći pitanje statusa Kosova, referendum o nezavisnosti Crne Gore, probleme u saradnji Srbije sa Haškim tribunalom za ratne zločine i neizvesnu sposobnost Koštunicine vlade da sprovede reforme.
