...hegemony this time last century, the Balkans today are moving forward democratically precisely because of the promise of EU accession. Just yesterday, EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn pointed out the “turning point” in Serbian policy by allowing alleged war criminals from the 90s, Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, to be tried for crimes against humanity in The Hague. The EU’s stance on Kosovo’s independence is as clear as their insistence on prosecuting war criminals...
...failure to arrest Mladic in particular has been laid at the door of Serb authorities, since he is believed to have found refuge in Serbia under the protection of that country's military intelligence service. Mladic is wanted for his role in the shelling of Sarajevo, and also faces charges of genocide and crimes against humanity over the murder of some 7,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995. But for many Serbs, he is still considered a war hero. Initially, Mladic found protection under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic, but even after he was forced from office...
...from one of the biggest manhunts of the past decade, Carla Del Ponte believes success is imminent. The outgoing prosecutor for the U.N. court dealing with war crimes in the former Yugoslavia says she has good reason to believe that her most elusive prey, former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic, may soon be in the hands of the court. Del Ponte announced last week, during a valedictory visit to the Serbian capital Belgrade, that she had received very positive signals from the new government with respect to handing over five war crimes suspects still at large. In contrast...
...recently as one month ago, it seemed as if Mladic and his fellow fugitives might escape justice altogether. Serbia was on the verge of swearing in a government that included a party whose own leader is an indicted war criminal, and which openly opposes the U.N. court. And the court itself is due to wind up its activities next year. Instead, however, a new pro-Western coalition took power, and it has apparently agreed to cooperate fully with the U.N. court in order to resume Serbia's efforts to join the European Union. Two weeks ago, the new government handed...
...later, police have no clues who the attacker was, but I have a pretty good idea what triggered the attack. On April 12, I was a guest on a local television show discussing the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslims by Serbian troops led by General Ratko Mladic, who is still on the run from international justice. The TV debate centered on the April 10 verdict by a Serbian war-crimes court that sentenced four members of a paramilitary group known as the Scorpions for the execution of six Muslims from Srebrenica...
