Default „Bin Laden Death Puts Spotlight on Ratko Mladic “

The Balkan’s Most Wanted Ratko Mladic seems to be better hidden than Bin Laden?

http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/arti...than-bin-laden :

“Serbian officials have often said that they could not be expected to catch the former Bosnian Serb commander while even the world's greatest power could not track down the Al-Qaeda boss, Osama Bin Laden.

The example of the failed hunt for Bin Laden was frequently cited by Serbian government officials as a point of comparison. The official search for Mladic started at about the same time as the US declared its "war on terror" in 2001.

With Bin Laden located and killed, Serbia may come under renewed pressure to find the ex-general, wanted for the mass slaughter of 8,000 Bosniaks [Muslims] in Srebrenica, eastern Bosnia, in 1995, among other crimes.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, ICTY, charges the ex-general with genocide and other grave war crimes committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.

His arrest is seen as crucial for Serbia's hopes of moving towards membership of the European Union.

The chief of the UN war crimes court, Serge Brammertz, is expected to give his assessment of Serbia's search on May 10, when he is due to visit Belgrade before submitting a report on the country's cooperation with the ICTY to the UN Security Council.”
