Last week, Serbian police discovered an art cache including a photograph of a work by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani in the home of one of fugitive alleged war criminal Goran Hadzic's friends while searching the residence for clues to Hadzic's whereabouts, the AP reports. Prosecutors now say that they believe that the photograph depicts a Modigliani artwork that Hadzic — whom the United Nations has accused of committing atrocities while acting as the separatist leader of the ethnic Serb redoubt Srpska Krajina during the Bosnian War — attempted to sell in order to support his life in hiding.

Serbia's war crimes prosecutor estimates that the work, whose title has not been made public, is worth more than €1 million ($1.3 million). Other Modigliani paintings, however, have recently sold at auction for much more than that: in November, for instance, a 1917 work titled "Nude Sitting on a Divan (The Beautiful Roman Woman)" was hammered for $68.9 million, setting an artist record.

Serbia's inability to arrest Hadzic (who has been at large since 2004 and faces 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity) and Ratko
Mladic, the former chief of staff of the Bosnian Serb Army (who was accused by the UN in 1995 of genocide, crimes against humanity, and various war crimes) has delayed the country's effort to join the European Union. These two men are the final suspects wanted from Serbia by the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, according to the New York Times.
