An operative report seen by B92 brings the details of the intelligence compiled on the flight of Gen. Ratko Mladic. The former military leader of the Bosnian Serbs, indicted by the Hague Tribunal for war crimes and genocide, is refusing any possibility that he may surrender, while operatives who put together the document also believe that he is mentally unstable after years spent in hiding. Mladic described as "ticking bomb" For this reason, he is "a ticking bomb that could easily take innocent persons from his surroundings to death with him". Mladic, one of the reports states, is ignoring numerous calls for him to surrender, and ease the burden on the citizens of Serbia and the Republic of Srpska. The operatives after him say that the general was "very offended" when he was asked to leave the Yugoslav Army (VS) facilities in 2002 and that for the next year he hid in apartments in New Belgrade. All the while he acted as an experienced underground figure, "moving silently in woolen socks when inside apartments, not allowing loud conversation, and maintaining a high level of hygiene due to fear of illness and hospitalization". At the same time, one of the reports said, "he insisted for a long time that members of his family visit him, watched television and even played chess on a regular basis". Informants told the operatives that Mladic treats his security "in a fairly rough manner", demanding that they taste his food and submit regular reports about where and from whom they buy it. His system of security means that its members control and wiretap one another, while some former associates are said to have protested over the fact that their children were also involved. The reports conclude that is possible that after spending years in hiding, Mladic is "mentally unstable", which would render him "a ticking bomb". The operative reports also state that the money collected to aid Mladic's hiding "often end up in the pockets and companies of his closest associates".
