It's a shame that the internet is a virtual medium, because there are a lot of people out there that I'd like to express my deep feelings of friendship to, and having spent the last two years here in Serbia, I'd like to do it in a truly Serbian way.

Disguised Doctor Karadzic 'Had Girlfriend'
| 23 July 2008 |
Unrecognisable, with long white hair and a long beard, Karadzic, under the name of Dragan or David Dabic appears to have led a much different life than one would have expected of one of the world’s most wanted fugitives ranked together with Osama bin Laden.
Over the past year he lived in a flat in New Belgrade, in front of photo and television cameras held lectures as an expert on meditation and health at seminars around the country, contributed articles for a magazine and sold charms and offered medical advice on his website.
Blic also reports he had a girlfriend, a “mysterious, attractive” dark-haired middle aged woman that he introduced as Mila, “the love of his life,” who was reportedly by his side at all times.
Radovan Karadzic is of course married, and his wife, together with his family, was subject to intense monitoring and restrictions by local authorities in Bosnia in case they made contact with the fugitive. Read more: http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/12007/
“She escorted him to every lecture and behaved like his wife. They held hands…when we would travel and there would be no room in the car for her, he [Karadzic] would say he is not going without her,” Tanja Jovanovic, one of the staff at the Zdrav zivot (Healthy Life) magazine, to which Karadzic contributed articles, told Blic.
Other staff at the magazine described Karadzic- Dabic as a charismatic nice man with a peculiar style of dress, resembling an Indian guru.
At lectures he was introduced as a neuro- psychiatrist who has traveled the world.
The editor in chief of the Zdrav zivot magazine had doubts over his credentials and he was described as a “spiritual healer.”
“He told me he worked at a clinic but would not tell me which one so I asked him for his degree. He said he could not provide it as it was with his wife, who he had divorced and who now lives in America,” Goran Kojic editor in chief of the magazine told Blic, adding Karadzic avoided talking about his life or family.
Some of Karadzic’s patients have also apparently come forward.
“No medicine just classic bio-energy, you know moving his hands over your body. I felt better, don’t know whether this was because he really had bio-energy,” said one unnamed Karadzic patient.
His website http://www.psy-help-energy.com/Index.html promoted his David Wellbeing Programme, based on the use of “human quantum energy”. His website says that people are “programmed” to live to between 120 and 130, an age that could be reached by those who had his treatments.
One of his lectures was called “The relationship between calmness and meditation.” He also gave lectures on healthy living. His website advertises energy healing and beauty treatments and offers to cure conditions ranging from impotence and other sexual problems to diabetes, asthma, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
On Tuesday, Balkan Insight revealed more details about Karadzic’s life under a false identity. Read more here: http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/11986/
