Secret life of war crimes suspect shocks Serbians

AP , BELGRADE

Misko Kovijanic, who owns “The Madhouse” bar in Karadzic’s neighborhood, said Karadzic was a regular who liked to sip red wine in the tavern decorated with a photo of himself and fellow war crimes fugitive General Ratko Mladic.

The photographs hang over bottles of Serbian slivovitz plum brandy lined up on the bar, showing Mladic in combat fatigues and Karadzic, with his familiar salt-and-pepper mane, in a stylish suit.

“I’m very proud that he came to my pub, and I’m very sad that he was arrested,” Kovijanic said.
