Deep Politics Forum - Ratko Mladic reported as having been arrested

A man believed to be fugitive war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic has been arrested, an official from the Serbian interior ministry has said.

"He has some physical features of Mladic. We are analysing his DNA now," an unnamed official told the Reuters news agency.

Local media said police are carrying out DNA tests on a man who identified himself as Milorad Komadic, who was arrested on Thursday.

Serbia's war crimes prosecutor refused to confirm or deny the reports, but Boris Tadic, Serbia's president, will hold a press conference later on Thursday.

Mladic, the Bosnian Serb wartime army commander, is wanted by the United Nations war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for genocide during the 1992-95 Bosnian conflict.

His arrest is seen a precondition of Serbia joining the European Union.

It will be nice one day to see real war criminals in the dock instead of these pathetic flotsam and jetsam of the humanitarianly destroyed Yugoslavia. So, Serbia get to be in the EU club now just as it looks like it might implode. Do they really want to belong in a club like that? Meanwhile, Kosovo and Albania and the cases of human trafficking and organ harvesting goes no where.

Yes, all these are class A criminals who've waged war against humanity for too long.
