Here are my comments and decision on this article:

• Is the article well-written? - There's not really any outstanding issues that are worthy of a fail, but there's some minor ones. Here's a couple:
  • Under the "Recent Developments" section, there's a sentence that says "By 2011, Serbian diplomats made several requests to the EU, asking it to pressure Croatia to resolve the dispute before Croatia's accession to the union out of fear that it might follow the Slovene example and stall Serbian accession similar to the impasse between Croatia and Slovenia over their border disputes and the subsequent blockade of the Croatian EU accession negotiation process." This sentence is very long and seems a bit run-on to me, so I'd suggest clarifying it and breaking it up into smaller sentences.
  • Under the "Start of the dispute" section, there's a sentence that says "No further changes to the border were agreed." As a matter of professionalism, I think there should probably be an "upon" at the end of this sentence. However, I already took the liberty of adding that myself.
• Is the article verifiable? - Yes.
• Is the article broad? - Yes.
• Is the article neutral? - Yes.
• Is the article stable? - Yes.
• Is the article illustrated by images with proper license information? - Yes.

Final decision - As I mentioned above, there's some minor issues, but I really don't think they're outstanding enough to warrant a fail or "On Hold". Therefore, I'll ✓ Pass this article, but I would recommend fixing the run-on I mentioned above and perhaps briefly scanning over the article briefly for clarity.
