Serbian President Boris Tadic has said Belgrade will fulfil its international obligations to arrest remaining war crime suspects wanted by a UN tribunal.
It was the first time Mr Tadic had spoke on the issue since the arrest and extradition last month of the former Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic.
He vowed to track down Mr Karadzic's military commander, Ratko Mladic, and ex-Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic.
They are wanted for their alleged role in war crimes during the Bosnian war.
At a press conference, Mr Tadic said his country would co-operate fully with the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, and that there was no need for any "additional pressure".
"All those who have the idea to put additional pressure on Serbia are knocking on open doors, because not only has Serbia shown its will and determination but it also has made concrete steps related to this co-operation," he told reporters.

"The proposal's goal seems to be the partition of Kosovo, literally for Serbia to govern in the enclaves," one source told Reuters. Another source in the U.N. mission UNMIK said this would be "a ratification of partition".
Serbia's President, Boris Tadic, explained that Serbia will never agree to Kosovo's independence, and talks are the only way to reach a compromise, but his country will continue its struggle to reclaim Kosovo peacefully.
