‘We have to live with our pain until the end of our lives’
Hardly anyone had dared hope that Radovan Karadzic would one day be arrested. But once the news sinks in, people say they are glad. They hope that he will finally have to stand trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.
The news has not yet filtered through to everyone in Srebrenica, the village where 8,000 Muslim men and boys fell victim to genocide in 1995. Avdo Purkovic works at the only hotel in Srebrenica. He says he could not believe his ears when he heard on Tuesday morning that Radovan Karadzic had been caught.
