Mladic is in Serbia and, as you know, Mladic is protected by power of the army. What I need is an... obligation from Belgrade to arrest him and deliver him to The Hague.

The death of Slobodan Milosevic, a few weeks before the completion of his trial, will prevent justice to be done in his case.

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.

He could have done it as a last act of defiance towards us. Perhaps he did commit suicide.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Mladic was not arrested, although he is within the reach of the authorities in Belgrade.

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.
