The Belgrade court in charge of war crimes has decided Friday, May 27, that Ratko Mladic was "transferred" to the ICTY in The Hague. The interrogation of the former leader of the Bosnian Serb army had been suspended Thursday night because of his poor health, before returning Friday morning. "The judge believes it is able to follow the hearings.
Personally, I think it is not," he said to reporters. "We are therefore obliged to request an independent medical opinion" about the health of Ratko Mladic, he said. Previously, the son of Ratko Mladic, Darko, told the press that the health of his father was "disturbing. (...) We saw my father for the first time today.
(... ) He speaks with difficulty, his right hand is almost paralyzed, and he has no sensation on the right side of his body. " "We should not speculate" on possible complicity in the military with the former military leader of Bosnian Serbs, however, said Bozidar Djelic. "What is clear is that (...), President Tadic and we, the government, since 2008, when we arrived, we did everything in our power to achieve this result" , "he said.
The prosecutor said he did not encounter Ratko Mladic in person, but having watched his interrogation in court for war crimes. The Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said his side that Mladic was living with his cousin in the village of Lazarevo, where he was arrested, "long enough, maybe even several years." At the time, the media had said the medical student had been driven to suicide, despairing at the pressures she was suffering because of his father's role in the Yugoslav wars.
The former military leader of Bosnian Serbs also asked for books of Russian writers Turgenev, Tolstoy and Gogol in particular, continued the source, adding that "he asked him brings a TV and some strawberries."
