"Slow, irresolute and unsystematic." That is how Carla del Ponte, prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), characterized Serbia's efforts to arrest the ICTY's most important suspect, Ratko Mladic. On October 15, she addressed the European Union's ministers of foreign affairs about Serbia's accession into the EU. Negotiations over Serbia's accession resumed in June 2007, after having been suspended a year earlier, largely because of Belgrade's failure to secure Mladic's arrest. On October 12, Belgrade offered 1 million euros for Mladic's capture, according to the AFP.
