Mladic on his way to The Hague as Serbia okays his extradition

Autor: mses
BELGRADE, May 31 (Hina) - Bosnian Serb wartime military commander Ratko Mladic, charged with genocide and other war crimes, is on his way from Belgrade to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, Serbia's Justice Minister Snezana Malovic told a special news conference in the Serbian capital on Tuesday afternoon.

Mladic, indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity, was transferred from the detention centre of the Belgrade special court to the Netherlands after the Justice Minister signed an order for his extradition following the court's rejection of the appeal by the Mladic defence team against his handover.

The court ruled last Friday that Mladic was fit to stand trial in The Hague.

Mladic was captured in the village of Lazarevo, 80 kilometres northeast of Belgrade, last Thursday after 16 years on the run. He was indicted by the ICTY in 1995 for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes his troops committed during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mladic and former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic, who is on trial in The Hague, are held responsible for the murder of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 and for the 43-month-long siege of Sarajevo.
