POGGIOLI: Journalists outside the top security prison where Mladic was being held observed two separate convoys of police jeeps and armored vehicles head to the airport, with all nearby streets and the highway closed to traffic. A half- hour after the last convoy left, Serbian Justice Minister Snezana Malovich appeared before the media and said Mladic was airborne and headed to The Hague.
SNEZANA MALOVICH: Bringing Mladic to justice, it is satisfaction for the victims and families of all who have been victims of the crimes for which he has been charged before the ITCY. At the same time, this act represents a message relevant for the process of reconciliation in the region.
