Waiting for Karadzic

(1945-06-19)On the way to town I passed the main prison here in The Hague. There was several television crews outside the prison's main gate complete with their satellite disc.

They are anticipating the arrival of Radovan Karadzic, the Serbian leader during the Bosnian war, who was indicted for war crimes. Karadzic was caught just a few days ago in Serbia after being a fugitive for 12 years and successfully disguised himself as traditional medical practitioner. Once extradition is done, he will be sent to this prison while going through the War Crime tribunal.

Then on the way I passed this nice and really cool building - fully covered with green - eco. This is apparently the headquarters of Europol or Europe Police which represents 27 member states in Europe. It has a army of some 600 staff. Europe is really becoming well beyond its one economy and one currency bloc.
