The results of the survey, cited by the Belgrade-based B 92 radio station last Monday, show that 62 percent of the respondents believe that threats of sanctions which may be imposed on Serbia due to its failure to cooperate with the ICTY, are serious, while 34 percent do not believe that the international community would again opt for isolating Serbia.
Being questioned about possible extradition of four generals, accused of crimes in Kosovo, to the Hague-based war crimes tribunal, 62 percent of those covered by the opinion poll say that do not believe that the generals' transfer to The Hague would be in the interest of the country, but 18 percent believe the opposite. A half of the respondents think that the generals should not voluntarily surrender to the tribunal.
The results also show that 48 percent of the respondents are still against the extradition of General Ratko Mladic, war-time Bosnian Serb military leader indicted for massacres during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia. On the other hand, one quarter believe that his extradition is inevitable.
