A few days ago, Serbian Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic said
that a few executors of the 1991 Ovcara mass killing of Croatian
POWs and patients taken from a Vukovar hospital were nabbed during
the ongoing clamp-down on organised crime in the country, which the
police launched following Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic's
assassination. The minister added that those arrests could help in
the defence of indictees Radic and Veselin Sljivancanin, accused by
the ICTY of the Vukovar crimes.
The foreign minister of Serbia-Montenegro, Goran Svilanovic, has
recently called on Radic and Sljivancanin to turn themselves in.
They have been on the run for several years.
The third member of the infamous Vukovar Troika, Mile Mrksic,
surrendered to the Hague-based ICTY in early 2002.
