Rasim Ljajic has told daily Politika that the arrest of Radovan Karadzic has made the search for Ratko Mladic more difficult. He said that since Karadzic’s arrest, Mladic’s accomplices had become “more wary.” Ljajic: Mladic accomplices “more wary” Ljajic, the president of the National Council for Hague Cooperation, said that the number of people helping the war crimes fugitive had now been cut down to the bare minimum. “There are very few of these people, less than ten. These are the people who know where he is hiding,” he said. Referring to the forthcoming visit of Hague Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz to Belgrade, Ljajic said that Karadzic’s extradition proved that the political will existed in Serbia to arrest Mladic as well and that it was just a “technicality.” Ljajic is sure that European officials are aware of how hard Serbia is working to locate Karadzic and the other remaining fugitive, Goran Hadzic. “We will outline everything that we will be doing in the coming days and weeks. These actions will not stop. There have never been so many people working on this, and our capacities have never been stretched to this degree before,” the National Council president said. He said that a large number of companies in Serbia suspected of helping Mladic would come under the microscope, adding that the recent operation in Valjevo at the Vujic company had not just been a marketing ploy. “I made it clear that we were not looking for Mladic in Valjevo, but that we were performing activities from within the framework of the overall plan for locating Ratko Mladic,” Ljajic stressed.
