Radovan Karadzic, um dos homens os mais queridos do mundo, foi prendido ontem 13 anos depois que foi processado primeiramente pelo tribunal unido dos crimes de guerra das nações.

O genocide suspeito de 63 caras dos crimes de guerra dos year-old carrega para seu papel no massacre de mais de 8.000 homens e meninos muçulmanos em Srebrenica no atrocity o mais mau de Europa desde a segunda guerra de mundo, e organizando o siege de Sarajevo que reivindicou 12.000 vidas.

Estêve compreendido para ter sido trazido antes que uma corte hastily-reunida em Belgrado última noite depois que foi apreendido por forças de Serb dentro do país, de acordo com Boris Tadic, do presidente.

A apreensão é uma descoberta significativa para o governo pro-ocidental novo em Serbia, um país que enfrente a isolação internacional quando Karadzic e os crimes de guerra Ratko suspeito do companheiro Mladic, comandante bosniano do exército de Serb, remanescerem em grande.

O EU fêz seu para hand-over uma condição de progredir para conversas da sociedade.

Radovan Karadzic conduziu à administração self-proclamada de Serb da Bósnia nos 1990s adiantados que resistiram a independência do país e suprimiram outros grupos étnicos em alguma da violência a mais má que seguiu o break-up de Jugoslávia.

Foi provável ser posto sobre a experimentação em Haia em a maioria de prosecution do elevado-perfil que levanta-se dos Balcãs opõe desde isso de Slobodan Milosevic terminado à morte das causas naturais do presidente anterior de Serb em 2006 antes que um verdict poderia ser alcançado.

“Este é um dia muito importante para as vítimas que esperaram esta apreensão por sobre uma década,” disse Serge Brammertz, prosecutor principal do tribunal Criminal internacional para a Jugoslávia anterior.

“É também um dia importante para a justiça internacional porque demonstra claramente que ninguém é além do alcance da lei e que todos os fugitives estarão trazidos mais logo ou mais tarde à justiça.”

Richard Holbrooke, secretária dos E.U. de estado assistente anterior que negociou os acordos 1995 de Dayton que terminaram a guerra na Bósnia, Karadzic descrito como “um arquiteto verdadeiro real do assassinato maciço” e granizaram a notícia de sua apreensão como “uma etapa tremenda para diante para que o desejo de Serbia junte o oeste”.

Disse: “Este é o homem o mais querido em Europa, o escaninho de Osama Laden de Europa. Evaded a captação por quase 13 anos. He was the primary intellectual architect of the ethnic cleansing.”

Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, the international community’s former High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, called the arrest as an “extremely important piece of justice for the world at large”.

He said: “I have heard so many rumours in the past but if they have got him then that is a very significant breakthrough for Serbia, for the Balkans and for justice.”

Still a hero to some in Serbia, Karadzic was first indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal in July 24 1995, since when he is said to have resorted to a number of elaborate disguises and relied on a network of supporters to evade capture.

His reported hide-outs included Serbian Orthodox monasteries and mountain caves in remote eastern Bosnia. Some newspaper reports said that he had at times disguised himself as a priest by shaving off his trademark mane of silver hair and wearing a cassock.

President Tadic’s office said in a statement that Karadzic was arrested “in an action by the Serbian security services”.

Karadzic’s wife, Ljiljana, said from her home in his former stronghold of Pale, near Sarajevo, that her daughter Sonja had called her before midnight. “As the phone rang, I knew something was wrong. I am shocked. Confused.

“At least now, we know he is alive.”

A senior Serbian government official told The Times: “Mr Karadzic was arrested late on Monday at a yet undisclosed location in Serbia in a covert operation by the Serbian Security Information Agency. He has already been handed over to the War Crimes Panel of the Belgrade District Court, where he was questioned by the on-duty investigating judge and will be transferred to the the Hague Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia where he will be put on trial.”

The news will delight EU foreign ministers meeting today in Brussels, who already had Serbian accession on the agenda and have piled enormous pressure on Belgrade to find the final war crimes fugitives.

Pre-accession talks have started, designed to encourage the reformist government formed in Belgrade earlier this month after closely-fought elections in May.

In Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, the news of Karadzic’s arrest was greeted with spontaneous celebrations as dozens of jubilant Bosnians gathered in the streets to mark what is seen as the beginning of the final chapter in the history of the country’s bloody civil war of the 1990s.

Nerma Jelacic, a spokeswoman for The Hague Tribunal, told The Times: “The Tribunal welcomes the news, which was eagerly expected for over 13 years. The new Serbian government has lived up to their promises and confirmed the pro-European credentials.

“Mr Karadzic’s trial will be one of the biggest events in recent criminal history. He will be given a trial in accordance to the highest standards of international law.”

The capture of Karadzic follows the arrest of the fourth most important fugitive, Stojan Zupljanin, 56, the former head of the Bosnian Serb security forces, last month.

A statement from the EU presidency, currently held by France, said the arrest was “an important step on the path to the rapprochement of Serbia with the European Union.”

Under the indictment, last amended in May 2000, the UN war crimes tribunal charged Karadzic with 11 counts of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and other atrocities committed between 1992 to 1996.
