...rugged mountains near the border of his native Montenegro. In the years since then, prosecutors at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia often complained that NATO and its associated intelligence services weren't trying hard enough to find Karadzic and his Bosnian Serb military commander, Ratko Mladic. Certainly no one has admitted to having had any inkling of Karadzic's final disguise: as a self-styled "spiritual researcher" named Dragan David Dabic...
...despite such successes, international justice has gotten a bad rap over the past decade. The rap stems from the failure to arrest criminals like Karadzic and his military counterpart Ratko Mladic, the slow pace and steep expense of the trials at the ad hoc tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, and the delays to the start of trials at the International Criminal Court (ICC). When Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor at the ICC, requested a warrant to arrest Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of genocide a week before the Karadzic arrest, he was widely...
...many locals who can afford to have reportedly bought property outside of Kosovo. Northern Mitrovica is taking on the look of an unloved relic: crumbling socialist-era apartment blocks are festooned with laundry; rickety sidewalk kiosks display Yugoslav-era money and postcards of fugitive indicted war criminals Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic. Vladimir Putin stickers are a hot seller...
...However, this is not the only fix that Serbia now needs; too many ghosts from the past still haunt the country. Fugitive General Ratko Mladic, indicted for the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, needs to be apprehended and delivered to The Hague.

And the economy, still largely controlled by the state, needs to be allowed to develop unhindered by the government's heavy hand...
Serbs in the northern Kosovar town of Mitrovica are not sticklers for appearances. The stained cement façades are peeling away from drab 1960s-era high-rises. Dented satellite dishes teeter on balconies. Kiosks peddling photos of local heroes like Ratko Mladic, the fugitive Bosnian Serb general indicted for war crimes, crowd out pedestrians along potholed sidewalks. But all over town there are flashes of brilliant color: red, blue and white Serbian flags fly from nearly every window, door and rusted railing...
