Serbia’s war crimes prosecutor vowed last Friday not to give up the hunt for fugitive Bosnian Serb wartime military chief Ratko Mladic, wanted for genocide, until he is arrested, a Belgrade daily reported.

“I will flush Mladic out from his hole,” Vladimir Vukcevic told the Press daily in an interview.

Mladic, who has been on the run for more than 15 years and is believed to be hiding in Serbia, has been indicted by the Hague-based UN war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia for genocide and crimes against humanity for his role in the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, notably the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the eastern town of Srebrenica.

Vukcevic, who also leads the special team which tracked down and arrested two years ago Bosnian Serb wartime political leader Radovan Karadzic, said he would not give up searching for Mladic.
