Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz says that “limited progress” has been made in Serbia’s cooperation with the Tribunal. Cooperation, in terms of investigating and finding the four remaining Hague fugitives is still unsatisfactory, according to Novi Sad daily Dnevnik. Brammertz reports only “limited progress” In his first regular report on cooperation to the UN Security Council as chief prosecutor, Brammertz states that the four remaining fugitives—Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic, Stojan Zupljanin and Goran Hadzic—are “within reach” of the Serbian government, but that Serbia has to find and arrest them. The general tone of the report is “fairly negative for our country,” the daily states. Brammertz’s main criticism of Belgrade’s cooperation is the fact that not only have there been no positive developments in locating the fugitives, but that access to BIA and military archives has been denied to the Tribunal, documents have not been transferred, while witness protection is insufficient in ongoing cases, especially that of Vojislav Seselj. Dnevnik says that the Action Team has also come in for criticism, with Brammertz stating that it has been working at reduced capacities and efficacy, “because of the political instability and uncertainty” in Serbia. On a more positive note, the prosecutor cited the efforts to arrest Zupljanin in Nis, and the work of the Serbian War Crimes Prosecution, as well as the readiness of Belgrade officials to work on locating and arresting the Hague fugitives. Brammertz said that compared to the last report, there had been a “limited amount of progress” in Serbia’s cooperation with the Hague Tribunal. The report will be submitted to the UN Security Council in early June.
