BELGRADE (Reuters) – Serbia’s war crimes court would allow Bosnian Serb wartime general Ratko Mladic to visit his daughter’s grave, but the security services will most probably veto the decision, a court official said on Sunday.

Mladic’s daughter Ana committed suicide in 1994 with her father’s handgun and was buried at a cemetery in the outskirts of Belgrade. Before he went underground in early 2000s Mladic was frequently seen visiting her grave.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Tight surveillance of suspected helpers and relatives led to the capture of Ratko Mladic in a messy farmhouse where the fugitive war crimes suspect was found alone surrounded by medication, officials said on Saturday.

“We established several directions expected to lead us to Mladic: his wartime comrades, a group of Bosnian Serbs residing in Serbia that were linked with him in the past and finally his family,” Rasim Ljajic, minister in charge of the search for fugitive war criminals, told Reuters.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Close surveillance of suspected helpers and family members led to the capture of Ratko Mladic after 16 years on the run, an official close to his arrest said Saturday.

Security officials monitoring communications by Mladic’s helpers discovered several weeks ago which family members were helping him hide, the official said Saturday on condition of anonymity.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Ratko Mladic is fit enough to face genocide charges in The Hague, a Belgrade court ruled on Friday after the Bosnian Serb wartime general’s son said he appeared too frail after more than 15 years on the run.

The court said Mladic, arrested on Thursday in a Serbian village, had until Monday to appeal against extradition to the international criminal court to be tried for a massacre in Srebrenica and the siege of Sarajevo during Bosnia’s 1992-5 war.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Bosnian Serb wartime general Ratko Mladic will face trial on genocide charges in The Hague following his arrest in Serbia after 15 years at large, with European officials expecting his extradition within 10 days.

The arrest on Thursday of Mladic, the last of the three men accused of instigating ethnic cleansing during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia, removed a major obstacle to the once pariah state of Serbia becoming a candidate for European Union membership.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – The Serbian government may ask the International Monetary Fund for about 1 billion euros ($1.4 billion) as part of its future precautionary deal with the lender, an IMF official said on Friday.

“We have some very tentative figure that could be about 200 percent of the Serbian quota or about 1 billion euros,” Albert Jaeger, the head of the IMF mission to Serbia, told Reuters.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Bosnian Serb wartime general Ratko Mladic was arrested in Serbia Thursday after years on the run from international genocide charges, opening the way for the once-pariah state to approach the European mainstream.

Mladic, accused of orchestrating the massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the town of Srebrenica and a brutal 43-month siege of Sarajevo during Bosnia’s 1992-5 war, was found in a farmhouse owned by a cousin, a police official said.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Ratko Mladic, who has been arrested in Serbia, is accused of orchestrating the methodical slaughter of up to 8,000 Muslims from the Bosnian “safe area” of Srebrenica, in the worst massacre in Europe since World War Two.

The dead were bulldozed into mass graves over four days.

It was the horrific culmination of a 3-1/2-year conflict in which the beefy general pounded the besieged city of Sarajevo daily with the artillery, tanks, mortars and heavy machineguns of his Bosnian Serb army, killing 10,000.
