Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb war crimes fugitive, is reportedly sick and
considering surrender, the Dutch foreign minister told MPs.
Ben Bot, briefing parliament about his trip to Belgrade on Monday, said he had
heard from Serbian sources that Mladic was ailing and was speaking with his
people about surrendering.
Dutch media had reported earlier that Bot said Mladic was negotiating with
Serbian authorities, but a foreign ministry spokesman said that was inaccurate.
"The minister said that he heard during meetings in Belgrade that Mladic is
sick, but that the Serbs don't know where he is," said Dirk Jan Vermeij. "The
rumour Bot picked up was that Mladic was negotiating with his entourage."
On Wednesday, security officials in Belgrade said negotiations for Mladic's
surrender were under way.
The Serbian government, however, denied Mladic, who is wanted by the UN
tribunal for crimes committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war, had been
detained. Serbia is under intense pressure to yield Mladic, the tribunal's
second most-wanted fugitive after Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian wartime
political leader.
"This is just another example of similar news we've seen in these past days,
meant to manipulate and impose pressure on the [Serbian] government," said
Srdjan Djuric, a Serbian government spokesman, dismissing the earlier Dutch
reports.
The European Union yesterday called on Serbia to hand over Mladic, warning it
could suspend talks with Belgrade on closer ties if he was not brought to
justice.
Olli Rehn, the enlargement commissioner, repeated warnings that negotiations on
EU membership could be suspended if Serbia-Montenegro did not co-operate with
