He was arrested this night in Spain... he is now in detention, finally. He will be transferred to The Hague.

I still have six remaining fugitives at large. Since April 2004, no one has been transferred to The Hague.

Now more than ever I expect Serbia to finally arrest and transfer Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic to The Hague as soon as possible. The death of Slobodan Milosevic makes it even more urgent for them to face justice.

We are very pleased with the cooperation we received from Belgrade. Finally we can say we have a reciprocal cooperation between The Hague and Belgrade.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Mladic was not arrested, although he is within the reach of the authorities in Belgrade.

This may seem as an unrealistic demand, but believe me it is not. It is primarily a thing of political will, and as we all know political will is influenced by pressure from the outside. If the EU launched [SAA] negotiations on 5 October and Mladic was still at large, this would severely compromise any chance of that arrest happening in the near future. It could even be a 'pass' to lack of punishment.
