Serbia arrests last war crimes suspect

Serbia has arrested the last fugitive war crimes suspect from the 1990s Balkan conflicts, fulfilling its main remaining obligation to the United Nations tribunal and clearing a lingering political obstacle to European Union membership.

Goran Hadzic, president of the Serb Krajina splinter republic during the 1991-1995 conflict in Croatia, is accused of murder and persecution related to Serbian-led plans to drive out Croats and other non-Serbs. He is charged with 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Mr Hadzic was arrested on Wednesday at 8.24am local time in Krusedol, a village in the Fruska Gora hills north of Belgrade, while apparently waiting to meet a contact, Serbian authorities said.
