PODGORICA, Aug 5 (Hina) - The director of the Montenegrin National
Security Agency, Dusko Markovic, on Friday refuted allegations from a report
of the Podgorica-based Monitor weekly that the war-time Bosnian Serb leader
Radovan Karadzic, who is wanted by the UN war crimes tribunal, was hiding in
the local buildings of the Serb Orthodox Church in Montenegro, but he did not
rule out a possibility that he might be sneaked into Montenegro.
Markovic said that "Montenegro could be used with ill intentions to possibly
sneak Radovan Karadzic onto its territory so that it could be accused of
noncooperation with the Hague tribunal and assistance in hiding war
criminals".
We are aware that there are such combinations, but we shall try to
thwart them, he added.
The weekly has reported that Karadzic is hiding in the Serb Orthodox
Church buildings in near Niksicko Slivlje highlands, and that his arrest can
soon be expected.
