Ratko Mladic

Has been arrested in Serbia. This is wonderful news for the Serbian people as it removes the biggest barrier for them joining the EU.
It also means that some somewhat belated justice will be done for all his victims and their families.
Well done the Serbian Police 8-) 8-) 8-) Expect to see another baddie at the Hague very soon

Patience Alrot, North Africa is but the first step on a long road.
There are still parts of Eastern Europe that make South America look sophisticated
Just keep makin' them great planes to keep the rest of us sane good buddy

Poll: Most Serbs Support General Accused Of War Crimes

BELGRADE -- More than half of Serbia's population would not approve sending fugitive Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic to face trial for genocide at the UN war crimes court, RFE/RL's Balkan Service reports.

Mladic and former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic were indicted by the Hague-based court for genocide during the 1992-95 war, including the siege of Sarajevo and the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men in Srebrenica.

The Serbian government has issued a 10 million euro ($14.1 million) reward for information leading to his capture, but only 34 percent of those polled said they would approve of Mladic being arrested, while 40 percent said they regard him as a hero.

An overwhelming 78 percent said they would not report Mladic to the authorities, according to the findings of the poll, which was conducted for the Serbian government's National Council for Cooperation with The Hague Tribunal ...

Oh, those wacky Europeans.

The Serbs are rather different to everyone else in Central Europe. Not necessarily in a bad way but they do tend to have obsessions that we in the West cannot understand.
Cultural differences always lead to trouble...
