BELGRADE, Serbia - Sixteen years after the bull-necked military commander went on the run, a pale and shrunken Ratko Mladic was hauled into a courtroom Thursday to face charges of genocide in ordering torture, rape and the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. A Serbian government that has changed mightily since Mladic's alleged atrocities trumpeted his early morning arrest as a victory for a country worthy of EU membership and Western embrace.

Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb wartime commander, was captured last week. For 16 years, he had been a fugitive from justice. Gen. Mladic was wanted for genocide and crimes against humanity.

The Associated Press ZAROZJE, Serbia - Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.
By Ian MacDougall and Karl Ritter The Associated Press
In an interview, Mladjan Dinkic, the Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia and the Serbian Minister of Economy and Regional Development, talked about Serbia's fiscal plans and future EU membership. He said that Balkan countries have experienced this crisis in a manner that is very similar to that of Western states -- they have all faced significant deceases in foreign trade and industrial production. As a result, most countries in the region expect output reduction this year. EU accession is a top priority for the Serbian Government. By the end of 2012, Serbia's regulatory framework will be brought in line with EU legislation, and, no later than next year, they expect to submit a formal application for EU membership.
