Dragas says SAS captured Ratko Mladic in Romania
Banja Luka, 09:16
General Ratko Mladic was arrested in Romania by British SAS commandos on Tuesday during a joint British-Romanian security force exercise, Director of Serbia & Montenegro International Institute for Security Orhan Dragas told Republika Srpska Television.
Dragas claims The Hague Tribunal will deny information on Mladic’s arrest as long as it sees him in Scheweningen prison.
Dragas added that Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica is wise enough to ensure that Mladic be arrested by foreign troops rather than by Serbian police.
“Ratko Mladic did not want to turn himself in and according to my information a compromise decision was made British SAS in Romania to capture him early Tuesday morning”, Dragas added.
Vojislav Kostunica expects The Hague Tribunal's chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte to arrive in the coming days and bring a written guarantee that the Tribunal will not hold Serbia responsible for failing to arrest the fugitive Radovan Karadzic.
Well they just got Gotovina. Quit whining.
Absolutely! One can always dream... But... ya know - he's pretty untouchable. Even if someone could get something to stick to him, he'd be pardoned, as to not embarrass the state. So the best we can hope is for his ass to fade into obscurity where it belongs.
