Saturday strongly reacted to the second attempt on Friday of
arresting Radovan Karadzic in Celebici, near Foca, the Bosnia-
Herzegovina's print media report.
The Republika Srpska president, Mirko Sarovic, said the SFOR
attempt of finding out whether Karadzic was hiding in Celebici was
"an embarrassment". According to him, NATO troops in Bosnia
were holding children as hostages and violently breaking in schools
and the church.
"SFOR went over its mandate in the action in Celebici", Sarovic said
and added the international peace-keeping troops in Bosnia took the
role of police.
Religions Ministry condemned a violent break into the Serb Orthodox
Church in Celebici, while the Education Ministry assessed SFOR's
action of breaking into school as unnecessary and inappropriate
"demonstration of force".
In its actions on Thursday and Friday, SFOR did not find Karadzic on
location in eastern Bosnia for which the information sources
claimed was hiding the most wanted Hague indictee.
