Milosevic, 31 March 2001. Karadzic, 21 July 2008. Mladic, 26 May 2011. Very few words come to mind when expressing the feelings upon the arrest of one more person indicted with crimes against humanity in the Balkan war. Definitely not joy: Mladic's actions inflicted such irreparable losses that even if he gets the heaviest sentence, repayment is impossible. Perhaps a sense of fulfilled duty, even if the arrest is long overdue for the Srebrenica survivors: impunity perpetuates injustice. Definitely a sense of recognition to the Serbian authorities, who continue to pursue the search of those who caused so much pain, not necessarily because of vengeance, but mostly as way of protecting and enforcing the solid institutional background that will allow the country to survive. Well done!
