By Matt Robinson BELGRADE (Reuters) – Alleged Balkan drug boss Darko Saric, one of the most wanted figures in the crime-riddled region, surrendered to Serbian police on Tuesday as a dragnet involving the CIA closed in on him in Latin America, Serbian authorities said. Serbia’s government said the 43-year-old had set no conditions for his surrender, other than to see his wife, son and daughter for 30 minutes at Podgorica airport in neighboring Montenegro en route from an unspecified third country to Belgrade. Saric, a Serbian citizen of Montenegrin origin, faces 13 indictments including the trafficking of 5.7 metric tons of cocaine from South America to Europe and laundering of 22 million euros in Serbia. After almost five years on the run, Serbia said it had located Saric moving within four Latin American countries and that, having realized his arrest may be imminent, he had offered to surrender.
