BELGRADE, Rajab 01, 1437, April 08, 2016, SPA -- Serbia accused Croatia on Friday of obstructing its negotiations on European Union membership and said it would not submit to blackmail by its neighbour, according to Reuters. Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said his government was "stunned by Croatia's decision not to support Serbia's European path" after Croatian officials in Brussels refused to give their assent to Serbia opening talks on a new chapter or policy area in the negotiations. "Serbia will not allow itself to be blackmailed, humiliated or disrespected by anyone," Vucic said in a statement. A row has been brewing since Croatia said this week that Serbia must change its law on prosecuting crimes committed during the 1990s Balkan wars as a condition for completing its EU membership negotiations. --SPA 22:43 LOCAL TIME 19:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
