Print VersionBritish EU Presidency Welcomes Plea for Karadzic's Surrender
02/08/2005
LONDON, Britain -- In an official statement, the British presidency of the EU welcomed on Monday (1 August) Ljiljana Zelen-Karadzic's recent plea to her husband, Radovan Karadzic. During a television interview broadcast over the weekend, she begged him to surrender to the UN war crimes tribunal for the sake of his family. The EU presidency also praised Serbian President Boris Tadic and Republika Srpska President Dragan Cavic, who have reiterated the need for Karadzic and other indictees to face justice at The Hague.
The former Bosnian Serb warlord was the subject of a film aired on Serbian television late Monday. It depicted Karadzic as a megalomaniacal opportunist who started out as a penniless poet and became, by turns, a businessman, chicken farmer, psychiatrist for soccer teams, environmentalist and petty criminal, convicted of fraud. The film also quotes former colleagues who described him as a mediocre and negligent doctor. The movie was produced by the South East News Service Europe (SENSE), an independent agency specialising in coverage of war crimes trials at The Hague.
