That is what I am asking from Croatia - to do immediately what must be done. I'm confident that maybe next week something will happen on this ground, |
The death of Slobodan Milosevic, a few weeks before the completion of his trial, will prevent justice to be done in his case. |
The false rumors spread yesterday from Belgrade about the arrest of Mladic have absolutely no basis whatsoever. |
The Federal Prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into a suspected violation of the ban against illegal gathering of political and perhaps military intelligence, |

The history of Serbia is not under examination. It is Slobodan Milosevic as an individual who will now face trial on the charges brought against him. |
The information which was presented to me at that time to substantiate that the positive outcome could be expected soon, has proven to be wrong or largely misrepresented. |
The obvious conclusion is that I was misled when I was told at the end of March that the arrest of Mladic would be a matter of days or weeks. |
The prosecutor expects that Serbia will live up to its promises given to her during her last visit in Belgrade and deliver Mladic before that date, |
The transfer of Slobodan Milosevic will now lend renewed energy to the task of arresting those fugitives who are still at liberty. |
There is no indication at all that negotiations about his surrender are currently being conducted. |
They said they have no intelligence and I don't believe that. I think that the Catholic Church has the most advanced intelligence services. |
They said they have no intelligence, and I don't believe that, ... The Vatican refuses totally to cooperate with us. |
This may seem as an unrealistic demand, but believe me it is not. It is primarily a thing of political will, and as we all know political will is influenced by pressure from the outside. If the EU launched [SAA] negotiations on 5 October and Mladic was still at large, this would severely compromise any chance of that arrest happening in the near future. It could even be a 'pass' to lack of punishment. |
This represents a wealth of evidence that is on the record. It is not only a question of convictions and sentencing. It is also a question of facts and truth. |
