Mladic still taking a pension?

 

    It is revelations like this one that make the people of Kosovo suspicious of the government in Belgrade.  The government of Serbia & Montenegro (former Yugoslavia) have been paying Mladic pension payments up until last November.  Can you believe this?  He's been a fugitive since the war in Bosnia and is wanted on two charges of genocide for the slaughter of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica.  Keep the checks coming though.
    And the international media/community continues to frequently paint the Albanians with a black brush.

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Bosnia Serb war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic drew his army general's pension in Serbia up until November last year while on the run from international justice, according to government ministers.

An investigation had revealed that Mladic's wife, son and two Army officers, one retired and one still active, had been authorized to pick up the money in 2002, when Mladic dropped out of sight to avoid arrest, they said.
