On Thursday Serbian authorities arrested Ratko Mladić, the wartime commander of the Bosnian Serbs Army. Mladić was arrested in the small village of Lazarevo, near Zrenjanin, a town north of the Serbian capital Belgrade. He was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 1995 for crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes. Mladić has to face the charges of being responsible for the siege of Sarajevo and for the genocide in Srebrenica, the largest ethnically-motivated massacre in Europe after World War II.

Reacting to the news that 52 per cent of the votes in Sunday's referendum were in favour of allowing divorce in Malta, LYMEC President Alexander Plahr comments:
 
"Up until now Malta is one of only three countries in the world –together with the Vatican and the Philippines- that do not allow divorce. This is an utterly inacceptable situation for an EU member state. Malta should have never been allowed to join the Union with these kinds of laws still in place. All the more we therefore applaud the decision of Maltese voters yesterday to finally allow divorce on the island nation."
