THE ‘HUNT’ FOR MLADIĆ
THE ‘HUNT’ FOR MLADIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The ‘Mladić case’ is the paradigm of Serbia’s social reality – of its attitude towards the past, towards reforms (of the security sector), towards justice and, finally, towards its neighbours. The alleged drama surrounding his arrest is a spectacle everyone is a part of. One of the key reasons for Serbia’s delayed progress towards joining the EU lies in the fact that Ratko Mladić has not yet been arrested and extradited to The Hague. His arrest remains one of the main conditions Serbia needs to fulfill in order to receive EU candidate status. This is why the case of Ratko Mladić always comes to the foreground in the context of Serbia’s coop¬eration with The Hague Tribunal. The strategy of this cooperation, with regards to Belgrade, is carefully thought out and it boils down to the atoning of the international community on the one hand, and not exposing the responsibility of the state of Serbia for the wars and war crimes, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the other.
