When all else fails, call in the family....
Karadzic’s wife calls for surrender 22:17 Beta
PALE -- Thursday – Radovan Karadzic’s wife Ljiljana has called on her husband to surrender himself to The Hague Tribunal “for their family’s sake.”

Ljiljana Zelen Karadzic, who has been helping hide her husband for the last ten years, gave an exclusive interview to the Associated Press from her home in Pale.

“Our family is under constant pressure from all sides. Our lives and existence are in constant danger.” she said.

We are living in a state of worry, pain and suffering. This is why I had to choose between loyalty towards you and the family. It is very hard for me to ask you, but I am asking you with all my heart and soul to turn yourself in.” Ljiljana told the AP.

“This will be a sacrifice for us and our family. In hopes that you are alive and can decide on your own, I beg you to make a decision and do it for our sake. In all my helplessness, all I can say to you is: I beg you.” she said.

Karadzic’s brother Luka said that he does not agree with Ljiljana Zelen Karadzic’s call for Radovan to surrender and believes that it is a result of pressure being put on the family to do so.

The Germans report on Karazdic's wife's plea: "Es ist schmerzhaft und schwierig, dich dazu aufzufordern, aber ich bitte dich dennoch von ganzem Herzen, dich dem Tribunal zu stellen", sagte Karadzics Frau, die ganz in Schwarz gekleidet war. Ihr Mann solle dieses "Opfer" für seine Familie bringen. Ohne Einzelheiten zu nennen, sagte Ljiljana Karadzic, die Familie sei in Gefahr, sie lebe in einer "Atmosphäre ständiger Beunruhigung". http://de.news.yahoo.com/050728/286/4mpq4.html
