Radovan Karadzic’s daughter Sonja Jovicevic-Karadzic said that the surrender of her father was no longer an option. “Surrender was never an option if we are talking about the death threats made by former U.S. War Crimes Ambassador Pierre Richard Prosper or what Carla Del Ponte told Dragan Kalinic.” Daughter says Karadzic won't surrender She said that after all the threats, the money that was being offered for information leading to Karadzic’s arrest “instills fear that the money is meant for someone who wants to be an accomplice to murder, to the execution of my father.” Sonja Jovicevic-Karadzic said that her mother called on Radovan Sonja Karadzic to surrender two years ago willingly, but under a great deal of pressure. “The public call was a result of finally being aware of all of the foreign and domestic services, and that we really had no contact with him and the only way to get in contact with him was through a public call,” she said. Sonja Jovicevic-Karadzic said that her mother could have refused to do that, but she called on her husband to surrender because it was “in the best interests of protecting her children and grandchildren, and she firmly believed the guarantees given that the family would be left alone afterwards.” Asked whether she believed that her father was alive, Sonja Jovicevic-Karadzic said that “she does not have an answer to that question,” adding that she had patience, fears, desires and hope. She claimed that there was an agreement between her father and former U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke, adding that while the family had never seen the document, tagged as top secret, they were aware of the talks and the conditions that had been agreed upon in the agreement.
