>WASHINGTON -- The State Department said Thursday it will begin distributing
>throughout Bosnia and Serbia posters announcing rewards of up to $5 million
for
>information leading to the capture of Yugoslavia President Slobodan
>Milosevic and
>two Bosnian Serb leaders.
>
>The rewards have been in place for all 30 indictees wanted by the
International
>Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia but the administration decided that
>Milosevic and
>his two fellow Serbs deserved special attention.
>
>"We are putting a sharp focus on these three indictees because it is time
they
>should face justice for the heinous crimes for which they are charged," the
U.S.
>Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues David Scheffer said.
>
>Besides Milosevic, the two other indictees featured on the poster are
Radovan
>Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb political leader; and Ratko Mladic, a Bosnian Serb
>military
>commander.
>
>Milosevic was indicted in May 1999, two months after the United States and
its
>NATO allies launched their air war against Yugoslavia in response to
Belgrade's
>systematic abuse of the ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo.
>
>Karadzic and Ratko were indicted near the end of the Bosnian war. Some of
the
>charges against them date from a massacre of Muslims at Srebrenica in 1995.
>
>Asked why a military team is not sent to Belgrade to arrest Milosevic,
>Scheffer said
>the NATO-led force in the region operates in Bosnia, not Yugoslavia, and
>does not
>have to authority to carry out such action.
>
>He said Mladic is in the Belgrade area of Serbia while Karadzic is in the
>Bosnian
>town of Pale, in the Serb-dominated sector the country.
>
>Scheffer said the administration hopes the poster campaign will encourage
>those in
>close proximity to any of the three to provide information on how they may
>be taken
>into custody or on ways that would facilitate prosecution efforts to
convict
>them.
>
>In addition to the 30 individuals who have been publicly indicted by the
>tribunal
>and who remain at large, an undisclosed number have been indicted without
>announcement.
>
>The rewards program, in effect for 13 years, began as an effort to bring to
>justice
>American victims of terrorist acts overseas, and subsequently was expanded
to
>facilitate the capture of indicted war criminals.
>
>The program protects the identity of anyone who has information, and the
>confidentiality of the information also is preserved.
