The former Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Serb Army was reportedly seized by police after an anonymous tip-off.
Boris Tadic, the Serbian president, said that Mladic, has been captured.
"On behalf of the Republic of Serbia we announce that Ratko Mladic has been arrested," Mr Tadic said at a press conference.
Croatian media, which first broke the story, said police there got confirmation from their Serbian colleagues that DNA analysis confirmed Mladic's identity. Belgrade's B92 radio said Mladic was arrested Thursday in a village close to the northern Serbian town of Zrenjanin.
Serbian media reported that the suspect was living under the name of Milorad Komadic. » | Murray Wardrop | Thursday, May 26, 2011
