With Mladic at large, three recently indicted generals who live in
Belgrade and move around freely, 12 other indictees whose whereabouts
are unknown, the US government cannot be satisfied with Serbia's
current cooperation with the tribunal, the US Secretary of State's
assistant for European and Eurasian affairs said before the Congress
Subcommittee on Europe in an address on the situation in Serbia.
Cooperation with the Hague tribunal, including the arrest and
hand-over of Mladic, is a precondition for Serbia to receive US
assistance worth 100 million. State Secretary Colin Powell will
decide by March 31 whether Serbia meets the conditions for
assistance.
