Serbia's War Crimes Chief Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic said Sunday that, since the last visit of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz to Serbia, much has been done in the search for the remaining two ICTY fugitives, but that few results are visible.
Serbia's War Crimes Chief Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic said Sunday that, since the last visit of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz to Serbia, much has been done in the search for the remaining two ICTY fugitives, but that few results are visible.
The results will be visible when Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic are in The Hague. Until then, Serbia will be their hostage, Vukcevic told Tanjug in the expectation of Brammertz's arrival in Belgrade on Tuesday.
The Prosecution, security services, the Action Team for the location and arrest of the two remaining ICTY fugitives and all involved in the search are doing everything they can, said Vukcevic who heads the Action Team.
Serbia's progress in European Union integration will depend on Brammertz's report on Serbia's cooperation with ICTY, and the failure to arrest the two remaining ICTY fugitives hinders this progress, he said.
Vukcevic said he can only guarantee that Serbia has acted upon all recommendations it received from Brammertz through his men included in the Action Team.
As regards cooperation between the National Council and ICTY, all their requests were met, he said.
Vukcevic expects Brammertz's next report to the UN Security Council on Serbia's cooperation with ICTY to be objective, professional, and therefore, positive.
