UN chief war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte is visiting Serbia and Montenegro as a deadline looms for handing over fugitive Ratko Mladic.

The European Union has said it will suspend negotiations on closer ties with Belgrade unless the former Bosnian Serb commander is apprehended.

Serbia and Montenegro has been given to 5 April to produce General Mladic.

The ex-Yugoslav state is in talks with the EU on establishing an association and stabilisation agreement.

That is the first step towards eventual membership.
