"Results expected" in hunt for Mladić

Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac says a team set up to locate Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic is seriously looking for them. “I have no information that either has been located or is willing to surrender,” specified Sutanovac in an interview with Tanjug. "Results expected" in hunt for Mladic Commenting on media reports that Serbia's had almost traced both of the remaining war crimes fugitives, the minister said that "serious work was being done to locate them and that results are expected". He clarified that his recent call to Mladic and Hadzic to surrender was motivated by the events that followed Karadzic's arrest in the streets of Belgrade, describing them as impermissible. Sutanovac, who is also the vice-president of the Democratic Party (DS), evaluated that there is a high degree of political maturity in the public opinion and among political parties, "except in case of the Serb Radical Party and radical wings of some others with regards to the necessity to complete the cooperation with the Hague Tribunal". “When they were in power, all parties fulfilled their duties towards the Hague,” said Sutanovac. Speaking about the opposition and recent protests, he said that "Karadzic was only the cause, while the essence is to reorganize the opposition, and the SRS desire to occupy completely the right center, marginalizing the DSS, NS and other parties". According to Sutanovac, the Radicals "have clearly succeeded at this, because the Popular Coalition is hardly mentioned in public, instead, only the SRS appears as an opposition party".
