BOSNIAN PRESIDENCY MEMBER ZELJKO KOMSIC WELCOMES ARREST OF SERBIAN WAR CRIMINAL RADOVAN KARADZIC

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (July 24,2008) - The arrest of Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic is a great thing for Bosnia and justice, said Bosnian State Presidency Member Zeljko Komsic on the special press-conference that took place in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on the occasion of his arrest.

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic is charged by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) with genocide, extermination, murder, deportation, inhumane acts, and other crimes against Bosnian civilians committed during the 1992-1995 Serbian aggression against Bosnia.

Bosnian Presidency Member Zeljko Komsic said that by this arrest justice has been only partially served.

"Every day that the accused of war crimes spend as free people is a lost day for the victims of the crimes and justice", he pointed out, warning that two other top Serbian war criminals indicted by The Hague Tribunal, Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic are still at large.
