"If [Ratko] Mladic and [Radovan] Karadzic can end up in The Hague, if there can be ethnic reconciliation in Kosovo, then there's every reason to believe that these countries have a future with the EU and a future with NATO and that they can enjoy the advantages that all their neighbours have now from around the Balkans and Central Europe," Burns said.
«Ako [Ratko] Mladić i [Radovan] Karadžić završe u Hagu, ako dođe do etničkog pomirenja na Kosovu, onda postoje svi razlozi da verujemo da te zemlje imaju budućnost u EU i budućnost u NATO-u, i da će moći da uživaju prednosti koje sada uživaju svi njihovi susedi širom Balkana i Centralne Evrope», rekao je Berns.
