A resolution expressing support for democratic forces in Serbia and encouraging the people of Serbia to remain committed to a democratic path.

1/17/2007--Passed Senate without amendment. (This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Expresses the sense of the Senate that:
(1) the United States should be committed to a strong relationship with a democratic Serbia as Serbia moves toward its goals of membership in the European Union (EU) and cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO);
(2) the inclusion of Serbia in the NATO Partnership for Peace Program was a critical step in bringing Serbia closer to the Euro-Atlantic Alliance;
(3) Serbia will now have the opportunity to enact defense reforms and apply for a Membership Action Plan for NATO;
(4) Serbia should continue its reform progress;
(5) Serbia should move quickly to fulfill its obligations to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, including by immediately arresting Ratko Mladic and transferring him to the Hague; and
(6) the United States should continue its defense and security cooperation with Serbia, and should remain a friend to the people of Serbia as they continue on the path of democracy.
