Karadzic aide gives up to UN war crimes court

A former chief of police under Bosnia’s wartime leader Radovan Karadzic was to give himself up to the UN war crimes court at The Hague today after Belgrade officials negotiated his surrender.

Mico Stanisic, who served as interior minister in the Bosnian Serb breakaway state led by Karadzic during the 1992-95 war, has been charged with 10 counts of war crimes for his role as commander of the military police force.
