Ratko Mladić (Serbian: Ратко Младић, pronounced [râtkɔ mlǎːditɕ], born March 12, 1942)[1] is the former Chief of Staff of the Army of the Republika Srpska (the Bosnian Serb Army) during the Bosnian War 1992–1995. In 1995, he was indicted by the ICTY of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and was a fugitive until he was arrested by Serbian security forces on May 26, 2011 in Lazarevo, Serbia.[2]
Arrest
According to Serbian President Boris Tadić, Ratko Mladić was arrested on May 26, 2011in Lazarevo, near Zrenjanin in the Banat region of the northern province of Vojvodina. An anonymous tip led to the arrest. According to some sources he was arrested in Serbia in an ethnic Serb village.[33] The local website mentions that Mladić was arrested in the house of his cousin Branislav Mladić, at the Ul. Vuka Karadžića 2.[34] Mladić's arrest had been a condition for Serbia's accession to the European Union.[35] After initial doubt as to the identity of the arrested man, Serbian President Boris Tadić confirmed that it was Mladić at press conference and announced that the process of extraditing him to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was underway. Mladić had apparently been using the pseudonym Milorad Komadić while in hiding.[36] As a coincidence, the pseudonym is nearly an anagram of his own name ("I am Radko Mladic"). Serbian Newssite B92 reported that beside using the assumed name, Mladić was not wearing a beard or any disguise, that his appearance showed he had "aged considerably" and that one of his arms was paralyzed.[37]
