Do I know these Uberpaddies?

I think it’s unlikely that Karadzic would ever have been handed over while Kostunica was prime minister or president, and before that, Milosevic was actively harbouring criminals from Bosnia. Interestingly, Tadic was defence minister under Kostunica, and you could probably lay a fairly safe bet that he knew exactly where Karadzic was.

Anyway, Karadzic is expendable. The big prize for Serbia is accession to the EU, and with the disastrous state of the economy, the hope of a better life will outweigh public objections except for a few hardliners.

The real test will be Mladic.

I can’t see them handing him over without getting a significant prize in return. They’ll face serious political and public opposition if they try to send Mladic to the Hague, and they’ll want to have something to show the Serbian people in return.

That prize could be a guarantee of territorial integrity. In other words, Kosovo’s status as part of Serbia copperfastened.

One other reason Tadic had Karadzic arrested could be because he’s a psychologist and he hates him on a professional level for being a fucking gobshite.

And Andrew made me snort.

“Come here, little girl, let me rape you, hand you over to my men, let them rape you, then we’ll make you dig your own grave, and shoot you in the back of the head, and if you are really good we might toss some dirt on you before letting the dogs ravage your carcass”.

War Crimes Tribunal indeed. Far too good for a man who perpetrated such atrocity.
