SARAJEVO, Dec 5 (Hina) - Ambassadors of NATO member countries
accredited in Sarajevo requested Bosnia and Herzegovina's authorities on
Tuesday to intensify efforts so that the remaining war crimes fugitives wanted
by the Hague tribunal, notably Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, could be
arrested. The ambassadors met the members of the state Presidency to
congratulate them on Bosnia's recent inclusion into NATO's Partnership for
Peace programme, but used this opportunity to point out the need to take
further steps in defence reform and cooperation with the International Criminal
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
US Ambassador Douglas McElhaney told the press the Presidency was
informed that both processes must continue now that Bosnia and Herzegovina was
invited to the NATO programme. This especially refers to the arrest of Karadzic
and Mladic, he said.
