Well, I'm concerned about it, of course I am. But the representatives of the Serbs signed the Dayton agreement as well. They signed the Dayton agreement, and the Dayton agreement says that if someone is charged with a war crime, they should be turned over and subject to trial. Now, they plainly--it also says that if the SFOR troops come in regular contact with those people that they can be arrested. Now, they have clearly not complied with that provision of the Dayton agreement in terms they've made no effort to help us get any of these people. And so--but they have no call to take any retaliatory action, and it would be a grave mistake to do so.
