Srebrenica falls to Bosnian Serbs
A man said to strongly resemble fugitive Bosnian war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic is undergoing identity tests after being arrested in Serbia.
Respected Serbian radio station B92 said: "B92 has been able to verify that a man suspected to be Mladic is in custody."
Gen Mladic is the most prominent Bosnian war crimes suspect still at large.
Serbian President Boris Tadic is due to make a statement shortly.
Gen Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military leader, is wanted by the Hague Tribunal on genocide and war crimes charges.
An interior ministry official confirmed to Reuters news agency that a suspect was being held.
"He has some physical features of Mladic, we are analysing his DNA now," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The man was arrested in Serbia on an anonymous tip-off, he added.
The report on B92 said the suspect had been using the name Milorad Komadic.
Top suspect
Serbia's war crimes prosecutors refused to confirm or deny that Gen Mladic had been detained, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Gen Mladic was Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic's army chief throughout the Bosnian war.
He has been indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal over the massacre of at least 7,500 Muslim men and boys from the town of Srebrenica in 1995.
Having lived freely in Belgrade for some time, he disappeared from view when former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was arrested in 2001.
Speculation mounted that he Mladic would soon be arrested when Mr Karadzic was captured in Belgrade in July 2008.
