Mladic Arrives at The Hague for War Crimes Trial

HeadlineJun 01, 2011

The Bosnian Serb military general, Ratko Mladic, has arrived at The Hague to face trial on genocide charges following his arrest after 15 years on the run. Mladic will be tried for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and the siege of Sarajevo. A spokesperson for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia welcomed Mladic’s arrival.

Nerma Jelacic: “After almost 16 years of being on the run, he is finally where we have wanted to see him for quite a while. It is certainly a big milestone for the tribunal, and we are very happy to receive him here and to be able to proceed with the trial.”

Mladic will make his first appearance in war crimes court on Friday.
