I remember the sort of thing that was said about extraditing Milosevic -- well, in the end it happened and it went just well. I think pissing off the Serbs is a prize well worth paying for justice.

Do you need any explanation for not pissing off a significant part of the population of a country you have troops in?

Remember, they arrested a bunch of these guys the following day, suggesting that they knew exactly where they were because they had been following their movements. What is more likely to have happened is that the government waited until the shwoing of the tape and the ensuing shock allowed them to arrest the Scorpions, and possibly prepare for the arrest of Mladic. I'd also like to add that Mladic and Karadzic could have been arrested numerous times by NATO troops, which initially numbered 60,000 in this small country. They didn't do a thing and must be held responsible too.

Judging by the debates I have seen on Serbian television and knowing how Croatian public reacted to revelation of Croatian war crimes, I think that airing of tape will not, at least in short term, bring desired effect.
