European Union Worried Over Karadzic Situation
ROME, May 20 (Reuters) — Italy, speaking on behalf of the European Union, said on Monday it had told the Belgrade government it was worried about the situation in the Bosnian Serb Republic. The foreign ministry said an Italian envoy in Belgrade expressed the EU's concern to the government of the Yugoslav Federal Republic at the weekend. “In particular, the Belgrade authorities were told of the Union's concern over the situation in the Republika Srpska and the hope that there will emerge political leaders who are willing to cooperate fully with putting the peace plan to work,” a ministry statement said.
The Italian envoy in Belgrade also told the Yugoslav government that the EU expected Belgrade to respect its
commitments, including cooperating with the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague. Bilt on Saturday issued a fresh plea to Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic to send Karadzic for trial by the tribunal.

Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic last week appointed a new hardline prime minister to replace Rajko Kasagic, sacked for getting too close to Carl Bildt, the International High Representative in Bosnia. The statement said the foreign ministry fully supported Bildt.
