... back to Belgrade somehow? Or was he there all along? If the latter, then former Prime Minister Kostunica surely knew about it… and was lying his ass off to the Hague and the world for five years straight.

Within days, Karadzic - rumored, despite denials, to have enjoyed Kostunica's protection for nearly a decade - was tracked down with no-nonsense efficiency and bundled into a police van.
