Serbia says intensive search for Mladic on-going

Both police and the military are intensively searching for war crimes fugitive General Ratko Mladic, Serbia’s minister in charge of cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal said today.

Both police and the military are intensively searching for war crimes fugitive General Ratko Mladic, Serbia’s minister in charge of cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal said today.

Rasim Ljajic was responding to criticism by several opposition officials and security experts that the latest security actions, portrayed by authorities to be aimed at arresting the wartime Bosnian Serb army commander, were just a show for the international audience that something was being done to bring the fugitive general to justice.

“There is no bluffing. The search actions are credible,” Ljajic said.

David Tolbert, deputy UN war crimes prosecutor of the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, said it “is clear” that Mladic is hiding in Serbia and not in some other country.

“The tribunal will continue to insist that Mladic be extradited to the court,” Tolbert said.
