RATKO MLADIC: A WAR CRIMINAL OR A NATIONAL HERO

By Sonja Biserko

After sixteen years in hide-out - no doubt assisted by the state and various services - Ratko Mladic finally ended up in The Hague. The operation of his arrest (at the eleventh hour) opened the window of opportunity to Serbia and its President Tadic for obtaining EU candidacy. In could be said in this context that except for Democratic Party of Serbia and the Radicals all other parliamentary parties went along with his arrest - did not oppose it at least.
