"I can only express satisfaction with the fact that Sljivancanin
has been arrested and that he will definitely stand trial for war
crimes which he, along with others, committed in Vukovar," the PM
said.
Racan voiced satisfaction with the efficiency of Serbian police,
adding he was confident police would demonstrate the same level of
efficiency in arresting other war criminals who committed crimes in
Croatia.
Former Yugoslav Army Lt. Col. Sljivancanin was arrested early this
morning in his Belgrade apartment. The ICTY charged him with crimes
on Ovcara, near the eastern Croatia town of Vukovar, where at least
200 Croats were executed. Also charged with the same crime are Mile
Mrksic and Miroslav Radic, who have already surrendered to the
ICTY.
