The Netherlands blocked efforts by the European Union on Monday to extend new trade benefits to Serbia, despite a positive report by a United Nations prosecutor on Serbia’s cooperation in tracking down accused war criminals. The Dutch insisted that Serbia first capture a former Bosnian Serb military commander, Ratko Mladic. Javier Solana, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said, however, that he expected the organization’s foreign ministers to reach an interim agreement in October on closer ties, including trade.
