Deputy Prime Minister resigns over failure to arrest Mladic
Serbia’s Deputy Prime Minister Miroljub Labus resigned today over the government’s failure to arrest war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic and the resulting suspension of EU pre-membership talks with Serbia.
The government “betrayed the most important interest of the country and citizens of Serbia” by failing to arrest Mladic and so secure the conditions for talks with the European Union, Labus said in his resignation letter to Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica.
