The 11 fugitives include 10 Serbs whose extradition the tribunal demands of Serbia and Bosnia's Serb entity, and Croat Ante Gotovina, whose extradition is demanded of Croatia's authorities.
Thirteen indictees from Belgrade have surrendered since 12 October 2004, when General Ljubisa Beara turned himself in. The Serbian government provided them and their families with legal and financial assistance, as well as with guarantees for their provisional release.
Belgrade has announced it will continue to extradite the accused, and among the first expected to surrender are generals Nebojsa Pavkovic and Vlastimir Djordjevic, who are charged with crimes in Kosovo, and Zdravko Tolimir, wanted for the 1995 massacre in Srebrenica.
Belgrade has also been requested to extradite the wartime Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladic, but the authorities maintain he is not in Serbia and Montenegro.
The Bosnian Serb wartime political leader Radovan Karadzic is believed to be in the Bosnian Serb entity. International troops in Bosnia will soon mark 10 years of unsuccessfully trying to arrest him.
The third most wanted fugitive, Croatian General Ante Gotovina, is the main stumbling block in Croatia's relations with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the European Union, which resulted in the postponement of the country's EU entry negotiations in March.
Gotovina has been on the run since the indictment against him was issued in June 2001. Croatian authorities' efforts to track him down have been fruitless.
Of the remaining five fugitives, the most important by the principle of seniority is Goran Hadzic, the ex-political leader of Croatian Serb rebels in eastern Slavonia who has been on the run since July 2004, when he was indicted for crimes in Croatia. Even though the Hague's Prosecution on that occasion informed Belgrade that Hadzic was residing at an address in Novi Sad, Serbia, he went missing shortly after the indictment against him was issued.
The other fugitives are Stojan Zupljanin, former chief of the Autonomous Region of Krajina Crisis Centre, accused of crimes committed in the Banja Luka area in Bosnia, Milan and Sredoje Lukic, accused of crimes in the Visegrad area in Bosnia, and former Bosnian Serb entity military police officer Dragan Zelenovic, accused of crimes in Foca, Bosnia in 1992.
