Slovene spokesman Bojan Brezigar, speaking on behalf of the EU, told reporters Tuesday that Serb President Boris Tadic would sign the accord with EU officials later in the day with the 27 foreign ministers.

The pact is supposed to bolster pro-European parties ahead of Serb elections May 11, the Associated Press reported.
