STORYLINE
Serbia's war crimes prosecutor on Tuesday hinted at progress in the hunt for war crimes fugitive General Ratko Mladic as a search of a former military hospital building in Belgrade produced no result.
Vladimir Vukcevic told reporters that the search for the Bosnian Serb wartime military commander, indicted on charges of genocide by a United Nations (UN) war crimes tribunal had not stopped for a moment which would soon be seen.
Military police blocked a downtown street in Belgrade on Tuesday afternoon, searching through a motel that is run by the military, a Serbian government minister said.
Ljajic said that they were acting on a tip that Mladic was hiding in the area.
The Serbian war crimes prosecution office later issued a statement that no war crimes suspects were found in the motel.
Mladic is sought by the UN tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, in connection with the massacre of up to eight-thousand Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 - the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.
The European Union (EU) last year suspended pre-membership talks with Serbia because of its failure to capture Mladic.
But EU officials last week hinted that they may resume negotiations even without him being in court in The Hague.
