According to BBC News, Mr Hadzic is wanted for atrocities committed in the 1991-1995 war in Croatia. He led Croatian Serb separatist forces.

The arrest comes less than two months after Serbia caught former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic.

Mr Hadzic is charged with the murder of hundreds of Croatians and non-Serbs.

Serbian officials say he was detained on Wednesday at Fruska Gora mountain, north of Belgrade, near his family home. He had always been presumed to be hiding there, the BBC's Mark Lowen reports from Belgrade.

Mr Hadzic went into hiding seven years ago, shortly after the sealed indictment against him was delivered to the government in Belgrade.
