Nato welcomes wife's plea for Karadzic to surrender

Nato today welcomed the plea by the wife of fugitive Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic for her husband to surrender, saying such a move would benefit his family, Bosnia and the whole region.

“We will continue to aggressively pursue persons indicted for war crimes and we wholeheartedly endorse the statement by Ljiljana Karadzic for two compelling reasons,” said the commander of Nato troops in Bosnia, Brig Gen Steven Schook, in a statement.
