      "summary": "Since FY2001, Congress has conditioned U.S. aid to Serbia on a presidential certification that Serbia has met certain conditions, including cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The second session of the 110th Congress may consider similar certification provisions in the FY2009 foreign aid legislation. Supporters of aid conditionality say such provisions may have spurred Serbia\u2019s cooperation with the Tribunal. Serbian cooperation with the ICTY may also be affected by the status of Serbia\u2019s Kosovo province. The Serbian government and parliament have threatened to sharply downgrade relations with any country that recognizes Kosovo\u2019s independence. If the United States and most European Union countries recognize Kosovo, as they are expected to do in early 2008, Serbia cooperation with the ICTY might cease, at least for a time. This report will be updated as events warrant. For more information on Serbia, see CRS Report RS22601, Serbia: Current Issues and U.S. Policy, by Steven Woehrel.",
