LONDON, July 22 (Itar-Tass) - Serbian security service have arrested the former leader of Bosnian Serbs, Radovan Karadzic, the British satellite television channel Sky News reported with reference to a statement of Serbian President Boris Tadic.
British television reported that the arrest of Karadzic have coincided with the arrival in Belgrade of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Serge Brammertz, scheduledfor Tuesday.
As is known this organisation demands from the Serbian side the extradition of three main persons figuring in cases of crimes against humanity during the war in the former Yugoslavia. Aside from Karadzic, the wanted persons are the former commander-in-chief of the Bosnian Serb army, General Ratko Mladic, and President of the already nonexistentself-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK), Goran Hadzic.
Mladic was indicted on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague in connection with the 1992-1995 siege of Sarajevo and the massacre of around 8,300 Bosnian Muslims on July 11, 1995 atSrebrenica.
Hadzic faces 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged involvement in the forcible removal and murder of thousands of Croatian civilians from the Republic of Croatia between 1991 and 1993.
His indictment specifically names the 1991 Vukovar massacre of 250 Croatian and non-Serb civilians from the Vukovar hospital in one of the first atrocities of the war.
In 2004, as he was about to be arrested, Hadzic disappeared from his home in Novi Sad, Serbia. In 2005 Serbian media began reporting that he may be hiding in a Serbian Orthodox monastery in Irig, Serbia or in Bijela, Montenegro. As of 2008 he is said to be hiding in Belarus.
