Just days before crucial parliamentary elections (11 May), the question of Serbia's future accession to the EU has become an issue of existential importance as the country's President Boris Tadic has received a death threat over his pro-EU stance.
A threatening letter was sent to Tadic following his signature of a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU, considered to be the first step towards membership of the bloc (EurActiv 30/04/08). It accused the president of being a "proven traitor to the Serb nation" and threatens him with a "bullet to the forehead," the Belgrade daily Blic reports.
Opposition between the country's pro-European politicians and hardline nationalist parties is currently at its highest since the breakaway Kosovar province unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 - with the backing of several EU countries.

A recent poll conducted by the Strategic Marketing agency showed Serbia's nationalist Radical Party slightly ahead of Tadic's pro-European bloc (33.2% to 31.5%), with the nationalist coalition of Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica ranked third (13.8%).

The Delegation of the European Commission to the Republic of Serbia

This web site is the focal point for information about the growing relations between the European Union and Serbia. The content of the site is a reflection of the richness of these relations. Since our first and largest target audience is the Serbian public, we are in the process of preparing a Serbian language version. The Delegation is preparing itself to take over responsibility for financial and economic assistance programmes in support of reforms in Serbia, currently managed by the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR). From 2007 and the introduction of the EU's new financial Instrument of Pre-accession Assistance (IPA) this site will contain more information on assistance and specific programmes and projects supporting political and economic reforms in Serbia. You will also be notified about open tenders and calls for proposals.
