7 In-Depth Articles About Ratko Mladic
Here are some in-depth articles from The Times’s archive about the man who shaped the image of the Balkans in war
and in peace: A Times correspondent profiled Mr. Mladic in 1994, as the general and Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader, became increasingly isolated in their rejection of an international peace plan for Bosnia.
The general, 51, refuses to be identified in any way with the Republic of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, created in April 1992 as an independent and multiethnic state and recognized by the United States and the European Community." Forces led by Mr. Mladic kept Sarajevo, Bosnia’s capital, under a deadly siege for nearly four years.
Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb general, was convicted of war crimes on Wednesday over
the slaughter of Bosnian Muslims in the 1990s — Europe’s worst massacre since World War II.
After an international accord was reached to make peace in Bosnia in 1995, Mr. Mladic spent
much of his time isolated in a mountain bunker surrounded by a coterie of officers.
After his indictment in 1995, Mr. Mladic evaded arrest for 16 years, despite the
presence of thousands of NATO soldiers in the region for much of that time.
Mr. Mladic was found hiding in a village near the Serbia-Romania border, 16 years after his initial indictment by a United Nations tribunal.
