Serbia's leaders meet in bid to speed up arrest of Mladic

Faced with possible European Union sanctions, Serbia’s deputy prime minister today urged an emergency leadership meeting to hasten the arrest of war crimes fugitive Gen Ratko Mladic.

Miroljub Labus said that the meeting that would include Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica and President Boris Tadic should be held “in order to establish civilian control over all military and police secret services”.
