Will Justice Finally Be Served for Ratko Mladic's Crimes?

Finally he can be tried before a court and take responsibility for what he has done.
He and Karadzic were the worst (with Milosevic).

I'm quite certain, however, that this is a present by Serbia to the EU to faciliate EU membership.

It looks like another case (ref to Bin Laden) of hiding in plain sight?

Just like Karadzic did. Thing is, those guys are kind of folk heroes (nevermind that they started a war and ruined Serbian economy as well) and they are well protected by their peers. There was quite a huge reward for both but no one claimed it.

As Mladic was directly responsible for Srebrenica, his capture is a huge relief. Of course he is still de jure just a suspect, but you can see him on video at Srebrenica commanding troops at the time of the massacre, and he was the highest ranking officer in the Serb army in an obviously well planned action.

I doubt, however, that this will bring stable peace to Bosnia. It's a barrel full of dynamite ready to explode again, and already barely below boiling point.

We can hold out hope, perhaps. Still a highly-publicized trial could supply a flash point for simmering tensions.

I heard about this this morning. Sadly, out of about 300 people who work at my building, I am the only one who knows what he is. Anyway, I had lost hope for this one. Now this is great news.

It is the sad and disturbing nature of Mankind. You can see that even on these forums; just compare this thread with Bin Laden thread. It seems that the massacre of innocent people (8,000 in Bosnia, 150,000 in Iraq and ?1000's in Afganstan) is not as wicked and evil as the killing of innocent people in the USA(3,000) and England(57).
