Ratko Mladic arrested

[Srbopol]

Ratko Mladic: Tragic Hero, edited by Milo Yelesiyevich, rebuts the US propaganda regarding the role of Ratko Mladic in the Bosnian Civil War, 1992-1995. The book allows an unbiased and neutral reader to make his or her mind up for themselves. Mladic has already been found guilty and convicted in the US and corporate globalist media as a "war criminal". He is guilty until proven innocent. And there is no intention to prove him innocent. Guilt is thus assumed. The corporate media can induce us to think however its paymasters want us to think. We were told by our media that there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. There were none. We were told by our media that Al-Qaeda had links to Saddam Hussein. There were no links. We were told Hussein sought to buy uranium from Africa. This was not true. We were told there was a "genocide" in Kosovo. This was not true. In fact, Kosovo was a separatist terrorist conflict meant to create a Muslim state of Kosova as part of Greater Albania. These events show a pattern of deception and brainwashing that should trouble and perplex all Americans. We should question a media and a government that brainwashes and deceives its own citizens. Where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction? Where is the other side to the Bosnian conflict?
This book gives the other side to the Bosnian civil war. The book presents the historical context to the conflict. During World War II, Adolf Hitler made Bosnia a part of a Greater Croatia which was ruled by Croatian Roman Catholic and Bosnian Muslim leaders. This Nazi/fascist Ustasha regime, made up of Croats and Bosnian Muslims, embarked upon a systematic and planned campaign of genocide against Serbs, Jews, and Roma. Hundreds of thousands of Serbs were murdered in Bosnia and Croatia. Roman Catholic priests Alojzije Stepinac of Zagreb and Ivan Saric of Sarajevo endorsed and sanctioned the Ustasha genocide of Serbs, Jews, and Roma. There is Vatican complicity in this genocide committed against Serbs and Jews. The Vatican had legates to the Nazi Croat puppet state and knew what was happening but did nothing to prevent the genocide, indeed, encouraging it.
In Bosnia, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem came to Sarajevo in 1943 to form the Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS Division Handzar or Handschar, made up of Bosnian Muslims. This Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS Division was deployed in eastern Bosnia against mostly Serbian guerrillas and resistance groups. Bosnian Muslim political leaders had written a famous Memorandum in 1942 to Adolf Hitler requesting that he make Muslim Bosnia a part of the Nazi New Order. All of this factual background is censored and suppressed in our free societies and by our free media.
This is the context for the Bosnian civil war and for Ratko Mladic, whose father was killed in 1945 fighting Nazi Croat and Bosnian Muslim forces during the Holocaust. This event cast a shadow on Mladic's view of Bosnia and Croatia. He did not want a repeat of World War II. He did not want to witness again the genocide and mass murder of the Serbian population. This is an important fact in showing what motivated Mladic.
The book dispels many of the US propaganda constructs. The Bosnian Muslims had a well-armed military division stationed in Srebrenica. The Bosnian Muslim commander, Naser Oric, was convicted of war crimes in 2006. Oric burned down Serbian Orthodox churches, murdered Serbian civilians and POWs, and burned down at least 50 Serbian villages. His forces would castrate and cut the throats of Serbian POWs and civilians and mutilate the bodies, usually by decapitating the corpse or by circumcizing the victim. Oric told the UN commander Philippe Morillon that he never took any Serbian prisoners, but executed all Serbian POWs he could find.
This created the background to Srebrenica. Srebrenica was a military defeat and disaster for the Bosnian Muslim faction. It was a military loss. All those killed were well-armed Bosnian Muslim military forces. When is killing armed soldiers in a war considered "genocide"? This book exposes the absurd US propaganda claims. Moreover, there is no proof for any of the allegations made about Srebrenica. There is only propaganda. And this book does an excellent job in disproving the US-manufactured propaganda.
This book also shows that war crimes were committed against Bosnian Serb civilians. Ossama bin Laden made an official visit to Sarajevo in 1994. Al-Qaeda forces were actively fighting as members of the Bosnian Muslim Army under ultra-nationalist radical Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic. Iran was the major backer and supplier of the Bosnian Muslim forces. Izetbegovic visited Tehran in 1993. None of this factual material has been presented in the US media. It has been censored and suppressed. Why?
This book allows you to make up your own mind based on all the facts and not from handouts from the US State Department. This book allows you to cut through the brainwashing and propaganda and to decide for yourself. What harm can that do? Why is the US propaganda machine so alarmed by an opposing view? What is there to be so afraid of? Show us both sides to the issue. Let us decide. That is real democracy and freedom.
This book is highly recommended. Decide for yourself.

look what i found searching on a Google for the last news in case with most hunted man by NATO/EU, general Ratko Mladiæ... Serbian accused for war crimes but in reality famous for succesfuly dealing with mujaheedine veteran fighters from Saudi Arabia, Afganistan, Chechnya and Albania.


Ratko Mladic in Lusatia???

Link/quotation that i found (some other forum) reffering on rumors that Ratko Mladiæ eventualy hide in Lusatia. True, `rumors` are not trustworty source but, what is today trustworty after all- news launched by CNN, BBC, DEUTSCHE WELLE, AL JAZEERA or of some other false media house?

anyway, see for yourself and have your own conclusion...

www.polishforums.com/battle_grunwald_biggest_medieval-34_13900_2.html

BDW, what you think- Could it be that Ratko Mladic hide in Lusatia? He, he what he could do in Lusatia?! This Europe would blow and would be freedom for Slavs, i telling to you brate. So called west mistaken for attacked Serbians in alliance with Arab mujas

on the end, realy, could it be that Mladic hide in Lusatia and what that could mean? We know that Radovan Karadzic former president of Bosnian Serb Republic was able to travel even to Austria while was hunted by NATO/EU so, its not impossible that Mladic managed to have passport and to travel even to Germany.


i found that this info is very interesting so i share it via this Pan-Slavic forum. Feel free to distribute it on the Net

Serbian Officials Say Mladic Is 'Within Reach'


By Craig Whitlock
Washington Post Foreign Service
Thursday, July 30, 2009

BELGRADE, Serbia -- Europe's most-wanted war crimes suspect has been on the run longer than Osama bin Laden. But after more than a decade of looking the other way, Serbian authorities say they are finally closing in on Gen. Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander charged with genocide and other crimes in the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
"He's somewhere within reach," said Vladimir Vukcevic, Serbia's prosecutor in charge of investigating war crimes committed during the breakup of Yugoslavia. Vukcevic said that he could not yet pinpoint the fugitive general's location but that it was clear Mladic was in Serbia, adding: "Absolutely, I'm optimistic we're nearing the end. It must be done by the end of the year."
For years, Serbian officials have said they were doing their best to catch Mladic and extradite him to the Netherlands, where he has been indicted by a U.N. tribunal on charges of crimes against humanity and other offenses. And skepticism remains deep here that the man many nationalist Serbs still consider a hero will be arrested anytime soon, despite a $5 million reward offered by the U.S. government.
But Serbian and European Union officials said that political conditions have shifted decisively against Mladic and that investigators, for the first time, have reconstructed his movements from the end of the Bosnian war in 1995 until 2006, when he was last confirmed to be in Serbia.
Also working against Mladic: the July 2008 arrest in Belgrade of fellow fugitive Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb political leader who prosecutors say worked hand-in-hand with the general to carry out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Bosnian Muslims and Croats. Their goal was to create a Greater Serbia out of the remains of the former Yugoslavia by expelling or exterminating other ethnic groups. About a quarter-million people died during the conflict.
Both men are charged in the executions of about 8,000 Muslims in the town of Srebrenica in 1995, the worst massacre in Europe since World War II, as well as a three-year bombing siege of Sarajevo that flattened the city and killed about 10,000 people.
Serbian investigators said they have concluded that Mladic had no recent contact with Karadzic, a psychologist by training who avoided capture for years by masquerading as a New Age healer. The lack of a sustained public backlash to Karadzic's arrest, officials and analysts said, has made it easier for the government to redouble its efforts to find Mladic.
The biggest boost to the manhunt, however, was the election last year of a new Serbian government that has pledged to end the country's chilly relations with the West and join the European Union.
"You have a very different Serbia now," said Vuk Jeremic, Serbia's foreign minister. "This is probably the most pro-European government in the history of Serbia. It represents a coming out of the decades of crisis and war."
Serbia had hoped to begin the lengthy application process to join the European Union early this year. But the Dutch government has blocked Serbia's candidacy, insisting that it catch Mladic first. Mladic's freedom is a sore point in the Netherlands, whose peacekeeping troops were overrun by his forces in Srebrenica.
Rasim Ljajic, the Serbian official in charge of relations with the U.N. war crimes tribunal based in The Hague, said his government remains surprised that the Dutch did not drop their objections after Karadzic's capture. Ljajic said that nearly all other members of the European Union, as well as the United States, have expressed satisfaction with Serbia's record in tracking down war criminals and cooperating with the U.N. tribunal.
"Everybody but the Netherlands believes in our efforts," he said. "They are being very tough in their position, and it's hard to expect that they'll change."
At the same time, Ljajic echoed prosecutors' predictions that the rogue general would be caught by the end of the year. The minister said he would resign if Mladic is not arrested by then. "It's a moral obligation for us," he said.
Ljajic and other Serbian officials were vague when asked why they were so confident. But they acknowledged that previous governments in Belgrade had either overtly protected Mladic or not tried very hard to find him.
The extent of that protection was underscored last month when a Sarajevo television station broadcast several homemade videos of Mladic enjoying life while on the run, including an undated clip of him playing table tennis at a Serbian military barracks. Other videos showed him singing at weddings and playing in the snow.
Serbian investigators said they discovered the videos in December during a search of the Mladic family home in Belgrade, Serbia's capital, and turned them over to the U.N. tribunal. The Sarajevo TV station said some of the videos appeared to have been recorded as recently as last year. Serbian officials denied that, saying all the videos were at least eight years old.
While searching the house, police also found 360 pages of wartime diaries belonging to Mladic. Ljajic described the diaries, in which Mladic talks about his turbulent relations with Karadzic and former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, as a much more significant recovery.
When asked why investigators waited until December to search the Mladic family home, Ljajic shrugged. "It was so obvious that he was not there," he said.
Prosecutors said that the last time Mladic was confirmed as being in Belgrade was December 2005.
In June 2006, investigators thought they were on the verge of a breakthrough as they followed a suspect who was "a direct connection to Mladic," said Vukcevic, the prosecutor.
"But there was a mistake made by the security services, and they missed the person who was closest to Mladic," he said.
Vukcevic described Mladic as "very old and very sick" and said investigators have kept former Serbian military physicians under close surveillance. He declined to comment on local media reports that Mladic, now 67, suffered a mild stroke years ago.
Goran Petrovic, a former chief of Serbia's civilian intelligence service, said Mladic was probably receiving help from retired military officers or other nationalist supporters. "There are a lot of people who would report Mladic to the police, but even more who wouldn't," he said.
He said the Serbian government was not eager to turn over Mladic to The Hague for a show trial but was feeling the pressure to act.
"They're waiting for Mladic to die before they have to choose between him and the European Union," Petrovic said. "They would be happy if Mladic would go to The Hague and die there, without a trial."

Ratko Mladic arrested: Bosnia war crimes suspect held

Ratko Mladic, wanted by UN prosecutors for war crimes during the Bosnian civil war, has been arrested in Serbia after a decade in hiding.

Serbian President Boris Tadic confirmed the arrest of the former Bosnian Serb army chief at a news conference.

Gen Mladic is accused of a key role in the massacre of at least 7,500 men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995.

He was the most prominent Bosnian war crimes suspect at large since the arrest of Radovan Karadzic in 2008.

President Tadic said work was under way to extradite Gen Mladic to the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague.

The detention, he said, had closed one chapter in Serbian history, bringing the country and the region closer to reconciliation.

It had also opened the doors to membership of the European Union, he added.

Gen Mladic was said by Serbian media to have been arrested in Vojvodina, a northern province of Serbia, in the early hours of Thursday morning. President Tadic would only confirm he had been arrested "on Serbian soil".

Top suspect

Gen Mladic has been indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal over the Srebrenica massacre.

Having lived freely in Belgrade for some time, he disappeared from view when former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was arrested in 2001.

Speculation mounted that Gen Mladic would soon be arrested when Mr Karadzic was captured in Belgrade in July 2008.

Just before news of the arrest, UN war crimes chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz accused Serbia of failing to do enough to find Gen Mladic.

"The capture is the biggest obligation of Serbia," he said in a report sent to the UN Security Council.

"Until now efforts by Serbia to detain fugitives have not been sufficient."

I honestly don't believe any of this. But we'll see what happens. I think it's all smoke screens for other sh!t Tadic has going on behind the backs of the Serbian people.

If it truly is Mladic, and not some poor guy who they will say is Mladic, then Tadic and his henchmen better be prepared for riots and unrest...

[Dushko]

This is tragic news. Tadic is a traitor and a fucking pussy.
The criminals in Serbian government think that this will give them some sort of push toward EU membership, but they are wrong. The witch hunt will never end.
How many times have the Serbian people been betrayed by their countrymen? How many times have they been betrayed by their so-called "friends"?
Its a dark day. Mladic will suffer the fate like others before him, to die in a Hague jail cell.

Bosnian presidency member: Serbia always knew Mladic's location.

BELGRADE, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Serbian authorities have always known the location of Gen. Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb army commander accused of committing war crimes during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, and were waiting for the right moment to arrest him, a member of the Bosnian Presidency said Thursday.

"This arrest shows that the Serbian authorities at all times knew the location of Ratko Mladic, as they knew the whereabouts of Radovan Karadzic," said Zeljko Komsic, referring to Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader now on trial for war crimes.

"It is obvious that both of them were bargaining tools in Serbian negotiations with the European Union (EU). Only at that moment when the EU firmly set this as a condition for Serbia's further association, the capture of Ratko Mladic, did it ensue," Komsic, a Croat member of the Bosnian Presidency, said in a statement.

"This arrest should be a warning to all those war criminals still hiding, that the moment of arrest will surely come," Komsic said. "Unfortunately, for the families of victims it comes extremely late, but the arrest had to occur and justice must be served."

Serbian President Boris Tadic earlier confirmed the arrest of Mladic, the most high-profile fugitive sought by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Bakir Izetbegovic, a Bosnian Muslim member of the Bosnian Presidency, called Mladic's capture a step toward improved relations between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and said BiH institutions contributed to the arrest.

"This is a great day for the region," said Izetbegovic, son of the wartime Bosnian Muslim leader Aljia Izetbegovic. "Justice is slow but inevitable. Mladic is a war criminal; he cowardly hid and deserves to be arrested in this manner. The arrest was made in cooperation between Serbia and BiH."

Mladic's arrest was expected to remove the biggest obstacle to Serbia's ambition to join the European Union.

Mladic has been on the run since 1995 when he was indicted by the U.N. war crimes tribunal for genocide in the slaughter of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in the U.N.-protected enclave of Srebrenica and other atrocities committed by his troops during the 1992-1995 Balkan conflict.

Dushko, I agree with you. Except I doubt Mladic will make it to the Hague... from what I've heard thru the grapevine is that Mladic is not in the best health. Has survived 3 strokes...

The streets weren't filled but it was felt throughout the whole city. There were a few small protests... there will be a protest Sunday at 7pm though.

VERY sad day here...

I hope you are correct. Surrendering Mladic serves no purpose other than to humiliate the Serbian people.
Tadic doesn't realize that the criminals in the EU will still not be satisfied, he may be next.

It made me sick, I turned it off, couldn't watch the end.

Bilofsky has to be a filthy lying Jew.

I can't believe how Serbia can't see how deceitful the USA is. If these idiots could experience how they are fucking up their own country and screwing their citizens, they would run away and not to the USA.

I read this the other day as I know the photographer. I was pleased with the other angle to the story. It goes to show that even the people in the village know it's all bullsh!t.

I was at the protest today. I left before the end as I'm a foreigner and I knew it would get at least a little nasty. There weren't as many people as I had hoped for but still a few thousand attended. Beautiful speeches from what I understood and what was translated to me.

Tadic and his minions don't care what the price for EU does to Serbia or her people. They look out only for themselves...

How many more like Mladic will be demanded by the EU before the soiled piece of toilet paper of EU membership will be offered to the Serbs?
How much more territory will Serbia be forced to surrender like Kosovo, the Presevo Valley, Vojvodina before they are thrown a few rotten crumbs?
How much more self-inflicted humiliation will be suffered by the Serbian people at the hands of their treasonous leaders?
What ultimate price will Serbia have to pay to become lapdog slaves of the West?
It will never end my friends until Serbia is no more.
