8. SOUNDBITE (English) Serge Brammertz, UN Chief War Crimes Prosecutor:
"The European Union will very closely look at the report but as I've always said in the past, we are doing an objective analysis of what is going well and what are the areas where more needs to be done and can be done, and this is for sure the area of the fugitives and this will be reflected in our security council report."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Serge Brammertz, UN Chief War Crimes Prosecutor: (on what lessons have been learnt from capturing Osama bin Laden):
"I don't want to jump quickly into lessons, but, you know it means that sometimes persons are hiding at the place where you are not thinking they are hiding and sometimes it is much more easier in the end of the day when you think but I think it will be premature and not appropriate to establish direct links in this regard."

STORYLINE
Serbia can and must do more to find Europe's most wanted man, Ratko Mladic, and other war crimes fugitives, the chief United Nations prosecutor for the former Yugoslavia said on Wednesday.
Serge Brammertz met Serbian officials ahead of reporting next month to the UN Security Council about the Balkan country's efforts to locate the wartime Bosnian Serb military commander, Mladic, and Goran Hadzic, the former Croatian Serb leader.
EU officials deciding on Serbia's bid for EU membership will watch closely the Brammertz' report.
"There is no alternative to the arrest of the fugitives," Brammertz said after talks with Serbia's President Boris Tadic. "Serbia can do more and must do more."
Mladic is sought by the Netherlands-based UN war crimes court for the killing of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 and other atrocities.
Hadzic is sought over the crimes stemming from the Croatian 1991-95 war.
Serbia's President Boris Tadic said that his country is doing all it can to hunt down Mladic and Hadzic. He said that "Serbia is taking this seriously."
Both Mladic and Hadzic have been on the run for years. They are believed to be hiding somewhere in Serbia with the help of ultranationalists who still consider them as heroes.
Asked whether Serbia could learn from United States agents who tracked down and killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, Brammertz noted: "It means that sometimes persons are hiding in the place you do not think they are hiding and sometimes it is much more easier in the end of the day than you think."
