STORYLINE
Masked policemen searched the Belgrade house of genocide suspect Ratko Mladic on Tuesday in an effort to capture war crimes fugitives as Serbia seeks EU membership.
A few dozen armed special officers blocked the street in a residential Belgrade area where the house belonging to Mladic''s family is located.
The war crimes prosecutor''s office said the search was part of ongoing efforts to find the former Bosnian Serb army commander wanted by a UN court for the 1995 massacre of 8-thousand Muslims from Srebrenica and other war crimes of the Bosnian conflict.
The office''s spokesperson gave no other details, but independent B92 TV said Mladic''s son Darko had arrived at the home last night after being away from it for a while.
During similar searches in the past, police had confiscated documentation, computer discs and videos from Mladic''s house.
Mladic was indicted for genocide in 1995 by the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, and is believed to be hiding in Serbia under nationalists'' protection.
Serbia, which recently submitted its candidacy for EU membership, must arrest Mladic if it wants to move closer to the 27-nation bloc.
