Balkan Insight reports revealing admission by Radovan Karadzic's brother
The arrests of Bosnian Serb war fugitives, including Radovan Karadzic, will end the Bosnian Serb entity of Republika Srpska, Karadzic's brother warns. ‘If it ever came to the arrest of Karadzic and Mladic, then Republika Srpska would be proclaimed an illegal creation according to international law, since then it would have been proved that it was created by genocide,’ local media have quoted Luka Karadzic as saying.
The Bosnian Serb political and military leaders during the 1992-5 Bosnian war, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, respectively, are among four persons indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) who still remain in hiding 13 years after the end of the war.
Luka Karadzic added that in case of the eventual arrest of Karadzic and Mladic, both Republika Srpska and Serbia would be declared guilty for genocide. ‘This is why we must not allow these two to be arrested and we have to do everything we can for Republika Srpska and Serbia to unite,’ Luka Karadzic said.
The massacre of 8,000 Bosniak (Muslim) men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in July 1995 by Mladic's forces has already been declared genocide by the Hague war crimes tribunal. Mladic and Karadzic have both indicted by the court for genocide.
Even after the end of the Bosnian war, some Bosnian Serb and Serbian hardliners have continued hoping for the unification of Republika Srpska and Serbia. These demands reached a peak after the 17 February declaration of independence by Kosovo from Serbia. But the other two constituent ethnic groups in Bosnia as well as the international community have strongly rebuffed any such possibility.
