Serbia arrested Europe’s most wanted fugitive Ratko Mladic on Thursday. Mladic, 69, was wanted for genocide by the International Criminal Court in The Hague. He was found by Serbian police in a town in the north of the country after being on the run for 16 years. Reports are he lived in a relative’s house with the false name Milorad Komodic. Serbia’s authorities will soon send him to The Hague, where he will face trial in front of the war crimes tribunal. The capture of Mladic is sure to help Serbia’s bid to join the European Union.

He faces many serious charges, including the killing of around 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995. He also led the 3-year siege of Sarajevo, in which up to 10,000 civilians were killed. Mladic appeared in court in Belgrade later Thursday. His lawyer, Milos Saljic, said he was in a "difficult psychological and physical condition", and that he was having problems answering questions. A spokeswoman for families of the Srebrenica victims said: "After 16 years of waiting, for us, the victims' families, this is a relief."
