Evidence has emerged that the former Bosnian Serb military commander,
Ratko Mladic, is still receiving protection from the Bosnian Serb
military.
Mr Mladic, who has been accused of genocide by the UN
war crimes tribunal in The Hague, has been on the run for the past
eight years.
Diplomatic sources say that as recent as this summer, he was being sheltered at a military centre in eastern Bosnia.
They say he was living in Serbia in early June this year.
But following the election of a new reformist president in Belgrade, Mr Mladic was brought back to Bosnia fearing arrest.
On the books
Diplomats in Bosnia say he was taken to a secret Bosnian
Serb military complex near the town of Han Pijesak in the east of the
country.
The well-equipped complex includes tunnels and caves
leading to nearby forests. Despite a Nato attempt to arrest him at the
time, he managed to slip the net.
Documents have also been released showing that Mr
Mladic, who is accused of masterminding the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in
which nearly 8,000 Muslims were killed, was only officially released
from military service in February 2002 - six years after he went on the
run.
Mr Mladic's military file from the old Yugoslav People's
Army shows that he was only removed from the registry of professional
soldiers in June 2001.
