"On 7 March 2005, the Council reaffirmed the Union’s commitment to the accession of Croatia and adopted the framework for negotiations with that country. The Council also highlighted the importance of full and complete cooperation from all the western Balkan countries with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. This is an essential requirement for them to continue to build closer links with the European Union. For this reason, after discussion in the Council and in the absence of a mutual agreement, the opening of accession negotiations with Croatia had to be deferred.
In the meantime, a working party consisting of the Presidency, the Secretary General/High Representative, the Commission and the next two Presidencies was created. Its task is to examine, in close contact with the Tribunal and Croatia, the steps that Croatia has taken and still needs to take in order to achieve full and complete cooperation with the Tribunal.
Under these circumstances, the working party met on 26 April 2005 with the Tribunal and the Croatian party in order to examine recent developments in cooperation between Croatia and the Tribunal. The group decided that the Council’s conclusions of December and March were still valid and that the Council would review the matter at the appropriate time on the basis of significant future developments in close cooperation with the Tribunal."@en1
