Serbian President Boris Tadic says that he believes it is a matter of time before Hague fugitive Ratko Mladic is arrested. He told Belgrade-based daily Blic that he would not "make a prognosis" as to when exactly the arrest would happen, but added he hoped it would be "in the foreseeable future". President: Mladic arrest matter of time "I want Serbia to be free from the weight of war criminals and to become a candidate for EU membership in the full capacity and to turn to solving those problems that make people's concrete lives," Tadic was quoted as saying. He also stated that he was convinced a majority of citizens was in favor of all war criminals receiving "trials and just punishment". "Even if the Hague Tribunal were to shut down tomorrow, this government would continue to look for Mladic full force. That's our obligation, above all, toward the innocent victims and their families," said Tadic. He also stated that the arrest of Mladic existed as the top state priority only starting 2008 - when the current government was formed. Boris Tadic (Tanjug, file)
