BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia expects to clinch a date for EU accession talks in June, the deputy prime minister said on Tuesday, telling Serbs the last remaining obstacle - relations with Kosovo - must be resolved peacefully to win entry.
Mired in recession and spurred by the prospect of wartime foe Croatia joining the European Union in July, Serbia's six-month-old government says accession talks are its priority, but the West says Belgrade must first come to terms with the 2008 secession of its former Kosovo province.
