Recalling the Western Balkan countries' commitment to full and unequivocal co-operation with the ICTY as stated during the EU summit in Thessaloniki in June, the ministers said this remained a critical element of the EU's Stabilisation and Association process, warning that "failure to co-operate fully with the ICTY would seriously jeopardise further movement towards the EU."
Podsećajući na obavezu zemalja zapadnog Balkana na punu i jasnu saradnju sa MKSJ, koja je naglašena i tokom samita EU u Solunu u junu ove godine, ministri su ukazali da to ostaje kritičan element procesa stabilizacije i pridruživanja EU, upozoravajući da bi «propust da u potpunosti sarađuju sa MKSJ ozbiljno ugrozio dalje kretanje zemalja zapadnog Balkana u pravcu EU ».
