“That thing that Radovan Karadzic was detained when liberal pro-European coalition
was finally formed in Belgrade – shows that it wasn’t only fortuity or special services
operational success. May be somebody will think that it’s a simple coincidence,
but Karadzic arrest really symbolizes final collapse of “Old Yugoslavia with
great-power ambitions, and appearance on its place of “New, sleek, not ambitious
European Serbia”. No doubt Radovan was given away by Serbian special services.
But Serbian national security, defence
and law enforcement agencies wouldn’t ever arrest him without political
decision and concrete command of President and government. All these years officials
in Belgrade clearly has been knowing where Karadzic was, but they didn’t dare
to arrest him and to give away this symbol for Yugoslavia preservation. Serbian
secret service “Sluzhba drzhavne bezbednosty” made to Bosnian Serbia ex-president
documents on another name. This service has also provided him operational cover
аnd gave away when it was necessary. Today Karadzic enemies and adgerents should
contract “legal act”. It means that it’s necessary to guarantee fair justice to
Radovan. It must not be as harsh
treatment of politician which counted on force and lost his set”, accentuated director
of Sociological Informational-Analitic “S-Center” Dmitry Soin.
