BIA Director Rade Bulatovic says Hague war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic was most probably in Serbia until 2005. "BIA was not monitoring him [Mladic]... According to our information which hasn’t been entirely confirmed, he was residing in Serbia until 2005," the director of the Security-Information Agency told Belgrade daily Danas. "Mladic was in Serbia until 2005" He said that the key to finding Mladic was "cooperation with the citizens". Moreover, his earlier statement that arresting Mladic depended on social circumstances, was "abused" and that it was clear he meant,"social, rather than state relations." "State institutions are absolutely determined to tackle this problem, but the social situation as a whole is hindering us," he added. Speaking of his meeting with Milorad Ulemek, a.k.a. Legija who was convicted of the murder of late Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, Bulatovic said that it was "normal" for the head of a security agency to meet with, as he was at the time, "Serbia’s most wanted man." "When he gave himself up to the police, [Ulemek] was Serbia’s most wanted man. That was the time for the security agency’s most responsible leaders to interrupt their holidays and come back to Belgrade, to see what was going on and to make sure the whole situation was being conducted in an orderly and appropriate fashion," Bulatovic said of the controversial meeting.
