Authorities in Serbia have arrested the last alleged major war crimes fugitive following the bloody break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

Goran Hadzic was seized in northern Serbia, early on Wednesday, at a meeting with a man who was delivering money to him in a forest.

Officials say that he had dramatically changed his appearance and was armed, but did not resist arrest.

He is now being questioned at the war crimes court in the country's capital, Belgrade - a key step towards his extradition to the tribunal in The Hague.
