Serbia working hard to bring Mladic, other Hague indictees to trial
Edited by:

Jasna Sarcevic Jankovic [Public Information Coordinator, Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor's Office]: "The location, arresting and transfer of Ratko Mladic and the other three indictees to The Hague is not only our international obligation, but also our moral duty. The fact is that Serbia has so far fulfilled most of its obligations towards the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, including the extradition of its two former presidents. All of them have been charged with the gravest criminal offences recognised by the international humanitarian law. The extradition of the remaining indictees would be a proof that the Serbian people do not want to carry this burden on into the future.

Substantial capacities of the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor's Office have been focused on the solution to this problem. What motivates us to proceed with our efforts is the acknowledgement that the Serbian state institutions have done their best in order to have The Hague fugitives brought to justice."
