The country's Supreme Defence Council on Wednesday held a session at which the head of the Army's Military Security Agency (VBA), Svetko Kovac, submitted a report which stated that Ratko Mladic had occasionally stayed in military facilities until June 2002.
After the Serbian Ministry of the Interior issued an arrest warrant for Mladic, some retired members of the Bosnian Serb army and the former Yugoslav Army and civilians took over in helping Mladic hide outside of military facilities, reads the report which was declared a state secret.
The VBA has been investigating a number of military persons on the basis of court decisions to establish if they are supporting Hague indictees, reads a statement issued after the session.
Two members of the Army of Serbia and Montenegro, a commissioned officer and a non-commissioned officer, had a power of attorney to take Mladic's pension allowance, but they used it only on one occasion, in September 2002. All other allowances went to Mladic's family, the statement said.
