...Karadzic's shoes, I would opt for a drastic solution. One such solution is suicide." - Serb Republic President Dragan Cavic in 2004 as authorities were negotiating the surrender of former military chief Ratko Mladic and speculating that Karadzic was hiding in the country. (Time.com, July...
...Sarajevo, during which some 10,000 people were killed, as well as the slaughter of about 8,000 captured Bosnian Muslims in the town of Srebrenica in July 1995. After more than a decade on the run, living in Serbia under the assumed identity of a psychic healer named Dragan Dabic, the world's most wanted fugitive was finally captured in July 2008 and transferred to the International Criminal Tribunal for War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the Hague.

"We have just jumped over a big hurdle on the pathway toward European integration," said Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac, a member of Tadic's Democratic Party. By contrast, the government's junior coalition partner, the Socialist Party of Serbia - once led by former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic - was less effusive. Its leader, Ivica Dacic, heads the Interior Ministry, which pointedly denied that police had been involved in Karadzic...
