Hadžićevo hapšenje uslijedilo je manje od dva mjeseca nakon što su vlasti u Srbiji uhapsile ratnog komandanta bosanskih Srba Ratka Mladića, kome se trenutno sudi na Haškom tribunalu za ratne zločine.
Hadzic's capture came less than two months after authorities in Serbia arrested Bosnian Serb wartime commander Ratko Mladic, who is currently on trial at The Hague war crimes tribunal.
