Posters offering a €1 million (£895,000) reward for information leading to the capture of Ratko Mladic have been posted at police stations across Serbia.
The Bosnian Serb general, on the run for the last 13 years, is wanted on genocide and crimes against humanity charges at The Hague.
He appears on new wanted posters alongside Croatian Serb rebel leader Goran Hadzic, information concerning whom carries a €250,000 (£224,000) reward, Serbia's B92 reports.
Mladic is the most senior fugitive wanted at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia following the arrest of Radovan Karadzic last year.
Karadzic has had a plea of not guilty entered for him at The Hague, where international prosecutors are eager to try both him and Mladic together.
The arrest of Mladic and extradition to The Hague is a key part of Serbia's route to European Union membership.
The current government strongly denies protecting the general's whereabouts.
