Interfax link on Serbian War Criminal Arrested in Russia
o official confirmation of Bosnian Serb's arrest
MOSCOW. Aug 26 (Interfax) - The Russian Foreign Ministry has declined to comment on Western media reports which cited a senior police officer in Republika Srpska, part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as saying the suspected Bosnian Serb war criminal, Dragan Zelenovic, was arrested in Russia on Thursday.
"Representatives of law enforcement agencies would be able to comment on information of this nature. We, for our part, would like to note that Russia is cooperating with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in full conformity with the Tribunal's Statute, which was approved by the UN Security Council," the ministry's Information and Press Department told Interfax.

For those of you with short memories, Interfax was an important news source when there was the attempt to oust Boris Yeltsin. I find it interesting to see this going on. It reminds me of the Soviet Era.
