Arrest of Mladic: Bosnian press welcomes the Serbian press gives details

The Serbian press widely evoked, Friday, May 27, circumstances and consequences of the arrest of Ratko Mladic, Thursday, in north-eastern Serbia. Two daily newspapers and a portrait of the front of the former military leader of Bosnian Serbs. This picture of Ratko Mladic, 69, cap on head, and published by Politika Blic, is the first known since the end of his run, which began after the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992-1995).

"Mladic has not resisted his arrest despite the fact that he had two guns on him," writes Blic. Refuting the claims of the former military lawyer, MeMilos Saljic, that his client is "in a difficult physical and psychological state," the newspaper quotes a source close to the court to ensure that Ratko Mladic is "able to communicate "and even" arrogant at times.

" The former general reportedly told doctors about her: "Do not worry, it does not take Mladic to Mladic," implying that he did not commit suicide. The Serbian press, however, is struck by the signs of a weakening of the man at the time of his arrest, "Mladic has trouble speaking, his hands trembling, and a neighbor who helped s to dress, "reported the daily Kurir.

"The heavy, slow, s'estprésenté Mladic before the judge in court for war crimes, aged, unrecognizable. He repeated many times that he did not recognize the Hague tribunal [International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia to which he should be extradited soon], "notes Danas. In Bosnia, the press welcomed the arrest of Ratko Mladic.

"The fall of the bloody" title to the daily Dnevni Avaz, with a photo of Mladic back, surrounded by police, and falling (Thursday) in a Belgrade court. "Serbia stops Mladic, sixteen years after the genocide, "said the paper which appears in Sarajevo, making reference to the massacre of Srebrenica.

And the daily concluded that Serbia has decided to arrest former general after realizing that it "could no longer count on the rapprochement with the European Union and Mladic at large." Finally! "exclaims Oslobodenje, another newspaper of the Bosnian capital, whose inhabitants have been subjected to a siege of forty- four months by the forces of Ratko Mladic.

In inside page, the newspaper published a photo of Mladic, surrounded by several soldiers, marching, July 11, 1995, in the streets of Srebrenica, the eastern Bosnian town that became in the days following the scene of the worst massacre in Europe since the Second World War: 8000 Muslim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces.

Oslobodenje qualifies Ratko Mladic "General vengeance, blood and tears. [...] For the victims of Mladic's arrest is undoubtedly rewarding but very late. As for Serbia, its image will be much better in the eyes of the world, the newspaper said in its editorial. However, only time will tell whether Serbia will improve it.
