Mladic is in Serbia, says U.N. prosecutor.

Carla del Ponte, the chief war crimes prosecutor for the U.N., said the fugitive Ratko Mladic is in Serbia.  She said she has evidence that Mladic is on the move more than in the past due to government pressure for his arrest.  Mladic is wanted for genocide from the Srebrenica massacre of 1995, where over 5,000 Muslim males were killed in the U.N. safe-zone.  Serbia has been lobbying for entrance into the European Union and del Ponte has urged the EU Enlargement Commission not to close Serbia's negotiation until Mladic, and the remaining fugitives, are handed over to The Hague for prosecution.
