Contents Summary
This report includes a Paul Davis (ITN) report and live discussion in studio featuring Ivo Daadler of Brookings Institution and Roy Gutman, Newsday journalist. Paul Davis reports on the arrest of Radislav Krstic, the highest ranking Bosnian Serb Army officer next to General Ratko Mladic. His December 2 arrest followed the sealed indictment issued on October 30, 1998 by the International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the Hague. Krstic was arrested on charges of genocide in Srebrenica between July 11 and November 1, 1995. The footage features photos of Krstic, including one with Karadzic, and Pirocanac footage taken after the fall of Srebrenica. Davis' report is followed by Daadler's and Gutman's comments on the arrest, and their projections of how this event will reflect on the Bosnian peacekeeping mission. The two guests also comment on the statement issued by the State Department, taking a clear stand on Milosevic's role in the Bosnian conflict. The State Department states that "Milosevic is the problem" as confrontation between Serbia and Montenegro is also discussed.
