But critics say the proposal -- that's been discussed between the EU and US for months now -- violates human rights. RT talks to Jan Philipp Albrecht, a Member of the European Parliament.

Serbia has fulfilled the final demands of the UN war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Ex-Croatian Serb leader - Goran Hadjich - has been arrested after eight years on the run. He's accused of atrocities during Croatia's war for independence from Yugoslavia in the early 90's, ranging from murder to religious persecution. It follows the arrest of Ratko Mladic, who was wanted for similar crimes. The detentions were key requirements of Serbia's bid to join the EU. For more insight on the story RT talks to Dr Srdja Trifkovic - foreign affairs editor at Chronicles magazine.
