The Hague - The UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague expects to have Ratko Mladic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb military, in custody by the end of April, a spokesman for chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte said Thursday.
The Belgrade government had assured Del Ponte that Mladic would be surrendered to the tribunal this month, Anton Nikiforov said.
Mladic, along with his political master Radovan Karadzic, faces 16 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in relation to the 1992-95 Bosnian War.
The two, the main suspects still eluding the tribunal, are held responsible in particular for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, in which up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed.
