Developments in Karadzic and Mladic cases

A week ago, the newspaper Bosnia Daily (no online edition) reported that an arrest of General Ratko Mladic, the highest-ranking war crimes suspect from the 1990's conflict, was still at large. De Weld reports that it's not quite that simple, and Mladic's whereabouts and living situation are the subject of a myriad of contradictory reumors around the area.

Meanwhile, ex-Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic refused to enter a plea before a panel of judges at ICTY this week. His initial panel had been replaced at Karadzic's request, and the new presiding judge entered a “not guilty” plea on Karadzic's behalf.
