 SUBJ SUBJ:        Failure To Arrest Karadzic Seen as Preventing Return to
 Normalcy in B-H
 [Commentary by Gojko Beric:  "Black hat, white pigeon."]
 [FBIS Translated Text]   The official version goes like this:
 Radovan Karadzic is alive and healthy. We even know his pulse, what
 he does, what he lives on, and who guards him, but we do not know
 where he is. Naturally, Mirko Sarovic has the most accurate answer
 to this question:  "According to the official information provided
 by Karadzic's collaborators, as well as my own knowledge,  Karadzic
 is not in the Serb Republic." Prime Minister Mladen Ivanic has
 mumbled something similar. He, too,  is not sure where the most
 wanted Balkan fugitive has disappeared. He was around somewhere

 The Serbian police chief has claimed Karadzic is not in Serbia,
 while the Montenegrin police chief has said he is not in
 Montenegro. He is gone, that is it! Yet he was nearly caught the
 other day.  It was said that there was shooting, there were dead and
 wounded, but Karadzic escaped the pursuit. The Podgorica daily Dan
 claimed that the "third line" of Karadzic's defense killed 10
 British special unit soldiers. There is not even one witness to the
 event,  yet the story of the failed hunt for Karadzic has gone
 around the world.
 The Pentagon pundits are at loss, they who are usually said to
 *communicate regularly with the extraterrestrial beings and for whom
 there are no secrets on our planet. They have until recently
 followed Karadzic closely, via gadgets installed somewhere in the
 vicinity of Vienna, but there are no more signals coming from his
 shelters that have reliably been located. Allegedly, Karadzic has
 switched off the electricity, cut the telephone lines, and thrown
 his cellular phone into a pit. American commandos discovered and
 captured the former narco-king Noriega in the middle of a
 Panamanian jungle, but they seem unable to find their way in
 Bosnian forests. The family known as NATO does not live in
 particular harmony anyway. When you ask them why Karadzic is still
 free, the English discreetly put the blame on the Americans, who
 then blame the French, while Carla Del Ponte blames them all....
 Five years ago, any lucid peasant could list the order of the
 most important things to be done in this country. There was no need
 for an Einstein-like mind to realize the importance of as many
 people as possible returning to their home in the shortest possible
 time, because without that happening,  B-H will be a cloud-cuckoo
 land. And for their return to be possible, there should have been
 an organized, massive hunt for war criminals,  just as the Allies
 did in Germany after World War II. There is something similar
 written in the Dayton Agreement, but its signatories did not want
 to read as it was written. If Bill Clinton did not care about the
 most important clauses of the agreement, why would a Karl Bildt or
 Carlos Westendorp have been more royal than the king? This is why
 Karadzic and Mladic are still not where they should have been long
 ago, in the cells of Scheweningen, and this is why the number of
 refugees returning to their homes is just sufficient enough to make
 the ethnic division of this country permanent.
 I am already sick and tired of reminding the people from the
 international community about these facts. Anyway, why would a
 journalist from a poor Bosnian newspaper care more about some
 principles than the well-paid protectors who have come here at the
 injunction of the United Nations? Wolfgang Petritsch surely must
 know about the estimate by the Hague Tribunal, according to which
 there are 10,000 war criminals in B-H, but this is not a story he
 wants to tackle.  I am not saying that Petritsch could catch them
 all with some huge net, throw them to sharks, and set us free from
 the evil, but unless he demands that someone does the job, then he
 really is punishing us by maintaining atmosphere of fear. And life
 with the motto "murderers are among us" cannot be normal, no matter
 how many sacks of American dollars are brought to this country.
 000779644
 For a full 10 years, the Serb and the Croat nationalists have
 sabotaged every part of the Dayton Agreement that, after all, makes
 a state out of B-H, without the West ever responding to them with a
 serious countermeasure.  It is as if there is a hidden plan to shape
 our reality and determine our lives. In the meantime, our attention
 is turned to the daily performance in a political circus involving
 domestic and foreign artists acting together. There are white
 pigeons coming out of their black hats. True, no applause is
 expected, because the esteemed public is already bored by the one
 and only program, but the illusion is kept.
 The hunt for Karadzic is also a part of that circus.  If they do
 not arrest him this summer,  the NATO leaders will somehow come up
 with an answer. Maybe this one: "We have done all we could, but a
 cat cannot catch a mouse that it cannot see."
