L'arrestation de Ratko Mladic. Rien ne laissait présager l’imminence de l’opération. M. Ratko Mladic a été arrêté par les unités spéciales de la police serbe dans le petit village de Lazarevo, près de Zrenjanin, dans le nord du pays, où il se dissimulait sous l’identité de Milorad Komanic. Les circonstances exactes de l’arrestation ne sont pas encore connues, mais, d’après la radio serbe B92, les habitants du village ignoraient l’existence de ce Milorad Komanic. M. Mladic n’aurait opposé aucune résistance, et se serait même montré très « coopératif ». Considéré comme le principal responsable du massacre de Srebrenica, en juillet 1995, l’ancien chef militaire des Serbes de Bosnie-Herzégovine est accusé de crimes de guerre, crimes contre l’humanité et génocide.

Le portail francophone des Balkans | Sarajevo sous le siège : le triomphe de la volonté. Le siège de Sarajevo, a-t-il rendu les gens meilleurs ? Les dangers et les risques quotidiens leur ont-ils donné un courage hors normes, une bonté incontestable et un soif d’élèvation de l’esprit au dessus de la bassesse humaine ?

Crie de Bosnie - Secret du tunnel du siege de Sarajevo partie 1/5. Serbia's Srebrenica apology - Inside Story. Just one day after apologising for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, Serbia is drafting a new declaration to commemorate their own victims of the Balkan wars. After 13 hours of heated debate, Serbia's parliament has finally passed the landmark resolution on Wednesday, condemning the massacre of around 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, and admitting they should have done more to prevent the tragedy.

Approved by a narrow majority, Serb politicians apologised to the families of victims, but stopped short of calling the Srebrenica killings genocide. Is there more to this apology than meets the eye, and is it 15 years too late? Is it another manoeuvre by Serbia to improve their chances of joining the EU?
