Serbia and the Netherlands have signed a memorandum of understanding that will assist the Balkan country towards integration with the European Union ahead of a future entry bid. The agreement signed during a visit by Dutch Foreign Minister Maxim Ferhagen is to help strengthen Serbia's institutions, administration and environmental protection in line with the 27-country bloc, the government said in a statement. Ferhagen backed a European future for Serbia but underlined the need for Belgrade to maintain compliance with the International Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
