According to the website, there is a danger of Mladic passing away in ICTY detention.
"Due to the serious health situation of the wartime commander of the Serb Republic (Army), Serbian ministers are determined to do everything that is up to Belgrade to act quickly and prevent the worst scenario," the article said.
Procedure-wise, following a request of the Serbian government, the Tribunal could ask for Belgrade's guarantees that would allow Mladic to receive treatment here.
In that case, Serbian ministers would immediately issue all the necessary guarantees to the ICTY, and Mladic would soon receive the most adequate health care in our country, Sputnik said on its Serbian language website.
Mladic has so far had two strokes and a heart attack, while doctors have also found that he suffered from the TIA brain disorder, which could lead to a new stroke.
He was examined by Russian doctors in The Hague in 2015, when it was established that he could "hardly follow the course of the trial."
The trial of General Mladic began in The Hague on May 16, 2012. He is charged with genocide in Srebrenica and persecution of Muslims and Croats throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina that had the proportions of genocide in seven municipalities, as well as terrorizing the population of Sarajevo by artillery and sniping attacks and taking UN peacekepers hostage.
Two counts of the indictment that covers the period between 1992 and 1995 charge Mladic with genocide, while the rest concern persecution, extermination, murders, deportations, forcible transfer of population, illegal attacks on civilians and taking of international hostages.
Minister to send letter
Tanjug reported later on Wednesday that Serbian Justice Minister Nela Kuburovic will send a letter to the ICTY asking that Mladic be provided with all adequate conditions for his medical treatment.
It is stated that the request will be sent considering that Mladic is seriously ill, "something that has been pointed out by the members of his family and his defense."
Tanjug was told at the Ministry of Justice that the ministry would also support the defense counsel's proposal to, if necessary, grant Mladic temporary release so that he could receive medical treatment in Serbia.
The Man is a hero,looks like the Kangeroo Court is going to give him the same sort of trial Seselj had,in other words lasting eleven years,they hope he will die before any verdict.

I don't think he should be released from the Hague detention unit especially if there's a high probability or likelihood that he'll again evade justice all because of the possibility that he could again become a fugitive. That's my opinion. Truth is the Serb authority figures and politicians I don't trust them to make proper decisions as long they are supporters or sympathizers of Ratko Mladic.

If he is ever able to leave the Hague alive he should be sent to Zagreb or Sarajevo to be put on trial there since thats where the cimes took place.

Leave him there? Why should any serbian national ever have to go there? After the release of the heroine and human trafficking murderer haridinaj i would never again export a single serb to a international tribunal again.

Our Serbian Cival and Military Leaders suffering and passing away prematurely in Roman Catholic Empire prisons !!!
I pitty the dirty rotten souls of any and all Serbian people who are traitors, the evil, wicked and degenerated ones who sell their Serbian Brothers and Sisters off for a few pieces of gold ! How much is Srbija worth to us the Serbian people, is it not worth more to us than it be to our satanic mortal enemies ? How can the USA, England and Germany steal our Serbian home lands and give them away to Albanian Islamic terrorist and Croatian Nazi Ustase ? Only if we the Serbian people spit on our ancient ancestors Blood ! So a national hero only lives in the minds of their people as long as their spirit is respected, how short the memories of Serbian people has become ! The same story like in the 1940's when Serbian people decided the wrong path and murdered one of Serbia's greatest humanitarian of the modern times Cika Draza Mihailovic ! We the Serbian people put a curse on our own heads, only we can decide if we will live in Liberty and Peace !!!
