Where is Ratko Mladic? For months, the location of the Serbian general wanted on war crimes charges has been a mystery, even as the European Union has exerted what pressure it can to encourage the Serbs to hand him over to the UN War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague. The EU suspended accession talks with Serbia in May over the issue.

On Monday, though, Mladic wasn't difficult to find. He was everywhere in fact -- made possible by the popular Belgrade daily Glas Javnosti. The paper published a poster full of pictures celebrating the country's most wanted war crimes fugitive. The insert is made up of a collage of photos -- including one showing Mladic with US General Wesley Clark's cap, which he received in exchange for his own during the war in Bosnia. Two other photos show a man holding up a huge picture of Mladic to soldiers marching past as one young soldier salutes the picture.

The response from the journalistic community was prompt. The independent Journalists Association said in a statement that publishing the poster was "unacceptable" and "helped make popular individuals who are tied to massive war crimes and are being searched for."

The response from the legal community was equally quick. The Serbian Public Prosecutor for War Crimes, Vladimir Vukcevic, called for an investigation into who should be held responsible for the poster. Rasim Ljajic, the Serbian government's liaison to the Hague War Crimes Tribunal bemoaned the "huge political damage" caused by the poster. According to Germany's Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Ministry of Defense promptly dismissed the saluting soldier.

Mladic, the former general of the Bosnian Serb army, was indicted for genocide in the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica. Momcilo Krajisnik, a former speaker of the Bosnia Serb parliament and a close aide to another fugitive, the former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, was sentenced to 27 years in prison on Wednesday on ethnic cleansing charges.

As for the response from the diplomatic community, that remains to be seen. This week, Olli Rehn, the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and Carla Del Ponte, chief prosecutor at The Hague, were set to reconsider Serbia's efforts in finding Mladic. After a meeting on Friday, Del Ponte is expected in Belgrade next Monday.
