Mladan Dinkic, Serbia’s central bank governor, says it is time for the countries of former Yugoslavia and the Balkans to begin work on creating a Balkan free trade and custom zone and bury once and for all the painful memories of conflict.
Dinkic says the former combatants need to rebuild past relationships, especially Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia, which have all been excluded from the first and second wave of EU enlargement.
“My vision is a free trade agreement for the whole area but to do it we all need to have enough political will,” he says.
