“He said: ‘I have a diploma but I don’t have it with me. My ex-wife has it in the United States.’ I said I can’t publish you as a psychiatrist without a diploma, but I will take you on as a spiritual researcher,” Kojic said.
So Dabic published his thoughts on holistic care in Healthy Living and began to appear at panel discussions on alternative medicine.
Last October he gave a lecture comparing the silent contemplation of Orthodox monks to oriental forms of meditation. Then as recently as May 23, Healthy Living’s third annual festival in Belgrade advertised a presentation by Dabic on “nurturing your inner energies.”
The homespun nature of Karadzic’s disguise, relying on a big beard rather than plastic surgery, and the fact that he took such risks in pursuit of an audience, suggests that he was not under the protection of a friendly intelligence service, as many had speculated.
Ljajic said his men had actually been pursuing Karadzic’s former military commander Ratko Mladic, but the people they believed were helping Mladic led them instead to Karadzic.
Such basic police work could have been performed long ago, but it is only recently that there has been the political will in Belgrade to wholeheartedly pursue the war criminals. Behind the scenes, the new government, after two weeks in office, is said to have launched a purge of the security services, which were long suspected of being in cahoots with organized crime and protecting war crimes suspects.
