Serbia appeases EU as Karadzic fights extradition

Serbia's new government is to reinstate the ambassadors it withdrew from EU countries that recognised Kosovo’s independence. Belgrade believes the move will speed up its bid to join the European club. The decision follows the arrest of the Bosnian wartime leader Radovan Karadzic. Brussels had warned Serbia that it couldn’t join the EU unless it handed over the war crimes suspect.
