Dinkic's statement came as a surprise because it followed a visit by EC External Relations Commissioner Chris Patten, who was told by Serbian and Montenegrin customs officials that negotiations were going well.
Dinkićeva izjava je iznenađujuća, s obzirom da je usledila nakon posete komesara EK za spoljne poslove Krisa Patena, kome su carinski zvaničnici Srbije i Crne Gore saopštili da se pregovori između dve republike dobro odvijaju.
