SFOR CALLS ON CITIZENS TO GIVE INFORMATION ON KARADZIC'S WHEREABOUTS

SARAJEVO, July 3 (Hina) - Members of the NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday handed out flyers calling for the surrender of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadjic. #L# The media in the Republika Srpska said that SFOR helicopters early Wednesday morning were flying over the eastern Bosnia dropping out the flyers. The SFOR command in Sarajevo confirmed that the flyers were distributed with an aim to assist the implementation of the US government programme "The Award for Justice". The programme foresees an award of up to five million US dollars for information which would lead to the arrest of most wanted war criminals - Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. The flyers said that Karadzic was personally responsible for the suffering of all peoples during the war, including Bosnian Serbs. The SFOR reminded the Serb population that Karadzic had also encouraged their leaving Sarajevo - including negotiations on the exchange of territory - which is why they now had to live as refugees in someone else's homes. The SFOR recalled that it would continue to invest efforts in Karadzic's arrest as well as the arrest of all other war crimes suspects. (hina) it sb
