"A network has been discovered of about 130 supporters who have helped Mladic, but most of them are in the Republika Srpska (the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina)," the Minister for Human Rights, Rasim Ljajic, told the Blic daily.
Ljajic said he could not reveal any other details so as not to compromise the efforts to locate and arrest Mladic, who is wanted by the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on charges of genocide and war crimes committed by his troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The European Commission on Friday threatened to break off talks with Serbia and Montenegro on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement unless Mladic was arrested over the next few days.
