ZAGREB (Reuters) - The European Union should demand that the government of EU candidate Serbia distance itself from a hardline Serb nationalist leader recently released from a U.N. war crimes tribunal, Croatia said on Wednesday.

Croatia joined the EU last year. Before admitting any more members from the western Balkans, the EU wants to see better cooperation among the states which emerged from the former Yugoslavia after the wars of the 1990s.
