Apparently, the news of Karadzic’s disguise as alternative medicine-man angered the notorious Croatian alternative and fringe scientist Drago Plecko, man who, among many other things, supports the pseudoscientific Bosnian Pyramid Project and had tried to convince the inhabitants of Visoko that such pyramids would be their Medjugorje (if you'd like to listen to the related interview, in BCS: http://www.rtv-visoko.ba/audio/drago.mp3).

It turns out that Mr. Plecko used to work with Karadzic in the 80s, when both of them wrote articles for the notorious Yugoslav (and now Bosnian) magazine for “greatest world mysteries” Arka. The magazine then and now is edited by another supporter of the Bosnian Pyramid Project, Mr. Ahmed Bosnic.

What is interesting now is that Mr. Plecko, apart from wanting to dissociate himself from any (alternative) practices of Radovan Karadzic, also implies that Karadzic’s disguise as alternative medicine-man was concocted by secret services and is suspiciously convenient to both mainstream medicine and the Orthodox Church, to whom Karadzic is now an embarrassment. That is why, Plecko claims, Karadzic was pushed into the “temple of the universal”, which is alternative field. Poor alternatives, this is quite a blow for them...

My personal opinion is that this whole aspect of the Karadzic Case reveals that alternative – whatever it may be – is a perfect camouflage for all sorts of fanatics, crocks and monsters.

I'm not sure it makes much sense to me, but I'm tired. More to come tomorrow ...

Well, never mind, I'll find it. I think Ljajic said yesterday that they thought they were on Mladic's trail but found Dr Dabar instead, but maybe this is unrelated ....

The Independent reports that Mladic turned Karadzic in. FWIW.

Thanks, Darko! This story has so many freaky elements, from the unexpected arrest itself to Radovan's bizarre self-realisation. How is Mladic disguised, I wonder?

Eric,
Your reportage on the doings of Mr. Karadžić are priceless. We all know the horrors committed; it is the Slavic humor twist that you add that makes this whole thing seem surreal, Balkan style.

Please! Please keep up the news stream and your take on the whole matter. Maybe you should get a press pass for The Hague?

It is context specific of course but in this particular case, that sounds about right!

Care to put a rough percentage on it Eric?
