Aided by Slobodan Milosevic’”s government in Belgrade, he carried out a brutal war on Bosnia’s Muslims. 13 years after his indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for genocide and crimes against humanity, and one year after his arrest and transfer to The Hague, Jack Hitt in the Sunday edition of the New York Times goes in search of a man who on the run emerged in Belgrade in 2005 as new age healer Dragan Dabic.

According to Hitt, his legacy is an ambiguous one for Serbs. Considered “the bold defender of Serbian purity”, many miss the “meek spiritualist” who loved life to such an extent that “he would defend the bees.”
