Serbia rejects criticism from UN war crimes tribunal

Released : Thursday, June 05, 2008 5:45 AM

BELGRADE, Serbia-Serbia has rejected a U.N. court's accusations that it has 
not done enough to arrest four war crimes fugitives.

Serbian government minister Rasim Ljajic said Thursday that the assessment 
by The Hague-based tribunal's chief prosecutor was "incorrect."

Prosecutor Serge Brammertz says in a report to the U.N. Security Council 
that four Serb fugitives sought by his court are "within reach of the 
Serbian authorities."

The report released Wednesday will be considered by EU officials as they 
decide whether to establish closer ties with Belgrade.

The fugitives include former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic 
and ex-military commander Gen. Ratko Mladic. They are both wanted on 
genocide charges.
