"It is immoral for them to appear before the Hague tribunal voluntarily, and it is un-Serbian to go to The Hague as arrestees. They should kill themselves if necessary," Nikolic told the press on Thursday, adding that Serbia's reputation would "completely collapse" if Mladic and Karadzic had to negotiate a voluntary surrender to the Hague tribunal.
Nikolic said many people had been killed in the war in which Mladic and Karadzic led a state and an army, and that the two Bosnian Serbs knew what they had to do "if that Serbian myth is dispelled".
SRS leader Vojislav Seselj voluntarily surrendered to the Hague tribunal on 24 February 2003.
