The international war crimes tribunal's chief prosecutor is due to visit Serbia to gauge the country's progress hunting for its two remaining war fugitives.

Serge Brammertz will spend two days in Belgrade before submitting a report to the UN Security Council.

The two remaining wanted men are Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic who is wanted for war crimes in Croatia.

Brammertz’s comments on how Serbia is co-operating with the tribunal will be key to its ambitions for EU membership, the BBC reported.

His visit comes a day after ex-Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic appeared for the first time in the court.

Karadzic, arrested in Belgrade in 2008, after nearly 13 years on the run, has been boycotting his trial.

He says he has had insufficient time to study the prosecution documents and prepare his defence, despite being indicted in 1995.

Chief International War Crimes Prosecutor Set for Serbia Visit
Americans and Europeans have made countless accommodations to Muslim demands. Many Westerners pat themselves on the back for their liberal bent, their tolerance and their open-mindedness. This persecution of Serbian heroes is just another example of this attempt to appease the Muslims.

This strategic pattern of demands is part of an insidious, 1,400-year-old proscription for Muslims that originates in the Koran and the Sunnah, the deeds of Mohammed. It is the Hijra or doctrine of immigration. Modeled by Mohammed's migration from Mecca to Medina, this immigration is not to a romanticized melting pot wherein newcomers gratefully search for opportunities for a better life in liberty and freely offer their talents and loyalty to benefit their new homeland. This is immigration for Islamic expansionism employing ethnic separatism to gain special status and privileges within the host country. Hijra is immigration designed to subvert and subdue non-Muslim societies and pave the way for eventual, total Islamization.

Within the past few decades, mosques have increasingly dotted the landscapes of American and European cities and towns, with mega mosques often overshadowing adjacent, centuries-old churches in predominantly Christian regions. Islamic schools or academies and a host of Muslim organizations have become omnipresent across the West.
