MOSTAR, Nov 16 (Hina) - A former US peace mediator in Bosnia-Herzegovina and one of the architects of the Dayton Accord, Richard Holbrooke, told Bosnian Television on Thursday that NATO was responsible for the fact that the two most

MOSTAR, Nov 16 (Hina) - A former US peace mediator in
Bosnia-Herzegovina and one of the architects of the Dayton Accord, Richard
Holbrooke, told Bosnian Television on Thursday that NATO was responsible for
the fact that the two most wanted ICTY suspects, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko
Mladic were still at large. NATO did not invest enough efforts to
arrest Karadzic and Mladic, Holbrooke said in the interview with the national
television.
The US diplomat has thus joined ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla del Pinte
who has criticised NATO on several occasions for failing to arrest the two war
crimes suspects.
NATO officers in Bosnia had dismissed such allegations, stressing they
had not information about Karadzic and Mladic's whereabouts.
