Serbia arrested Goran Hadzic, the last top commander sought by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia following its bloody breakup, meeting an important condition to start European Union entry talks.
Hadzic, 52, a leader of Serbs in Croatia during Yugoslavia’s 1990s dissolution, is accused of killing hundreds of Croats, including more than 250 prisoners in Vukovar. He faces 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the tribunal in The Hague. His lawyer said he wouldn’t appeal extradition, allowing for his transfer to The Hague no earlier than Saturday after being on the run since 2004.
