Ratko...must mean “I am a RAT!”
I don’t necessarily believe this. Might be a way to try to get some Serbs to turn on Mladic and then rat on his whereabouts. Something smells fishy here. Why would Mladic do this, give info on Karadzic. What would it gain him? He hasn’t been caught yet to want to try to bargain by using Karadzic as a chip. I don’t know. This just doesn’t strike me right. I think it’s a lie.
"Rat" in Serbian, means "war". Hence "Ratko" translates as "Warrior".
