Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said today that the former commander of the RS Army, Ratko Mladic, is in a very serious condition and added that he does not understand why he is not allowed to spend his last days outside the International Residual Mechanism's cell in The Hague.

Vucic said that he spoke with Minister of Justice Nenad Vujic, who informed him about Mladic's health.

"He told me that (Mladic's) health was very poor, that they took him in, that he couldn't sit, that they brought him in a lying position along with the bed, that he replied only in the shortest possible way with a 'yes' or 'no' and that he was in a very bad condition. I don't understand why not let someone spend their last days outside of a prison cell, but am I particularly surprised? I'm not," Vucic said in response to journalists asking about Mladic's health.
