On the run

Just some headlines in the Bosnia Daily:
"Del Ponte once again requests from Belgrade to Deliver Mladic" (March 30, 2006); "Mladic arrest over the Holidays?" (April 25, 2006); "Hunt for Mladic officially starts" (!)(July 26 2006); "Mladic's Mistery" (August 22, 2006); "Del Ponte dissatisfied with Serbia's effort to capture Mladic" (October 4, 2006); "Mladic main obstacle for Western Balkans on the road to PfP" (November 6, 2006); "Trial reveals details of Mladic's Belgrade "Odyssey"" (December 27, 2006); "Karadzic is not only Serbian problem" (January 4, 2007).

Those are headlines from random editions of the Bosnian Daily- editions that I kept for all kind of articles that I find interesting. The two most wanted men of Europe, are still a source of news here, every day. According to Carla del Ponte it is unbelievable that those men are still not found. And I can understand why. Apparently intelligence sources know of their whereabouts, and even know when they are travelling where. Whether this is true, I do not know, but if so, that is disturbing (By the way: there is a price on the head of those men- 5 million dollars for each. There have been bounty hunters, and there are some blogs solely dedicated to it).

Anyway, the ICTY has not given up hope that the men will be caught. Yesterday the US ambassador-at-large for war crimes said that if Karadzic and Mladic were caught before 2010, "the ICTY would remain open to try them". And that is good. At least some victims of the war will be spared of a farce like the Saddam Hussein trail.
