Spanish backing sought over EU ambition

The request also concerns the start of ratification of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA), Serbia's Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Božidar Đelić told Tanjug in Madrid on Thursday. After a meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, Đelić said he asked for support to the continuation of the process of Serbia's European integration on the basis of the report of the Chief Hague Prosecutor Serge Brammertz. Đelić said he and Moratinos also conferred on bilateral relations and on prospects for increasing Spanish investments in Serbia. Serbia is ready to make public a tender worth EUR 22mn for diesel engines for Serbian railways, on the basis of a loan granted by Spain a few years ago, he said. Spanish company Telefonica might possibly be interested in the forthcoming privatization of 40 percent of Telekom Srbija capital, he added. Source: Tanjug
