&to=http://english.pravda.ru/yougoslavia/2001/09/03/14090.html' target=_blank>U.N. war crimes prosecutors are still dissatisfied by a dossier on top fugitive Gen. Ratko Mladic provided by the Serbian government because it does not contain key evidence, a government official said Tuesday.
&to=http://english.pravda.ru/world/2002/08/29/35561.html' target=_blank>Serbia last Friday handed the wartime Bosnian Serb army commander's file over to the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, saying that it included sections that had earlier mysteriously gone missing.
The handover, announced by human rights minister Rasim Ljajic, appeared to be a final attempt by the government to placate chief U.N. prosecutor Carla Del Ponte before she this week submits her report on Serbia's cooperation with the war crimes tribunal.
If the U.N. Security Council rules that Serbia is not cooperating with the tribunal, the troubled Balkan country could face renewed political and economic sanctions and isolation.
"The Hague prosecutors are not satisfied with the contents of a part of the dossier," Ljajic said Tuesday, refusing to provide details. "They are saying that they didn't get the information which they sought from Belgrade."
Mladic's personal dossier, compiled by Serbia-Montenegro military, was sought by the U.N. prosecution in its case against the wartime Bosnian Serb military commander who was charged in 1995 with genocide during Bosnia's 1992-95 civil war.
After prosecution demands that lasted for three years, the Serbian authorities earlier this year finally handed the file to the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands. But the prosecutors soon discovered that key parts were missing.
Ljajic said Friday that the "complete" file was now handed over, including the eight missing pages that had disappeared while the document was in the military's possession.
Mladic, who has been on the run since 2002, is believed to be hiding under the protection of hard-liners in the Serb-led military.
The file is believed to contain details about Mladic's orders and movements during the Bosnian war _ key in determining his guilt during the brutal Bosnian Serb onslaught against rival Bosnian Muslims and Croats.
"We have to determine urgently whether this is all the military has as far as Mladic's dossier is concerned, or whether someone is obstructing the handover of the documents," Ljajic said, reports AP.
