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.
Karadzic Laptop Found on Road
| 13 August 2008 |
Radovan Karadzic
It added that DNA tests and an inquiry were being carried out to establish whether the items found on the road in the suburb of Batajnica, three weeks after Karadzic’s arrest near the same spot, indeed belonged to him.
Karadzic was apprehended on July 21. While in detention in Belgrade and later, before The Hague Tribunal, he claimed he had been arrested three days earlier, held at an unknown location and that his laptop was taken away.
Serbia’s police have denied they confiscated material that Karadzic said was crucial for his defence before the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, ICTY.
On Karadzic’s arrest, police said they had netted key wartime documents including those from the wartime Bosnian Serb republic's General Staff, a personal file and photographs which belong to Karadzic. Read more: http://balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/12114
The ICTY charges against Karadzic, last amended in May 2000, include genocide, extermination, murder, deportation, inhumane acts, and other crimes committed against Bosnian Muslim, Bosnian Croat and other non-Serb civilians in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1992-1995 war.
The two remaining fugitives sought by the ICTY from Serbia are Karadzic’s military commander, Ratko Mladic, also twice indicted for genocide, and Goran Hadzic, charged over crimes committed in the 1991-1995 war in Croatia.
