Where there's smoke there's fire......or maybe not ....or maybe
At this point I'm left to wonder what the huge international media feeding frenzy which I admit to consuming as avidly as anyone else was about. Maybe the idea was to sell newspapers.
Anyway I really was hoping he'd get arrested. There've been rumors about his imminent arrest or even that he was arrested over the last couple of years. I selected this article because of the picture, lots of newspapers with lots of headlines.
Lots of annoyed tired embarrassed journalists.
There is in fact an arrest warrent for him in Serbia signed by Kostunica. So maybe there was and still is some reason to think they were close to arresting him.
One government funcitonary said that reporting on the arrest of Mladic was a effort to manipulate the situation and to hinder or even prevent his arrest. I would love to know how B92 would be involved in such a thing, they are noted for their frequent opposition to the government that Mladic served.
