Karadzic -- last seen in public in 1996 -- was the Bosnian Serb political leader during the 1992-1995 war that followed Bosnia-Herzegovina's secession from Yugoslavia.

While president of the so-called Serbian Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Karadzic's troops were reported to have massacred hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Croats during a campaign of "ethnic cleansing."

Early estimates of the death toll from the 3-year war ranged up to 300,000, but recent research reduced that to about 100,000.

The Serbs want entry into the EU. As part of this they have to search for Mladic, Karadzic and one more that I cannot remember.

Searching for Mladic, they came across Karadzic. He was working in a hospital as an alternative therapist for 10 years.

Finding Mladic will be much harder.

But if they want into the cash cow that is the EU they have to find him and prosecute him.

Karadzic is contesting his extradition, but he will go to the trial and will be convicted.
