A Bosnian Muslim who was bribed into lying to judges to favour the defence of a Bosnian Serb later convicted of war crimes has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment, officials at the Hague-based United Nations tribunal said Monday. Zuhdija Tabakovic had confessed to accepting 1,000 euros (1,376 dollars) in return for providing false statements at the trial of Milan Lukic, a former head of the White Eagles paramilitary group. Lukic was last year handed a life sentence by the International Criminal]]>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:55:00http://t.love.com/309045751
The former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic lived under US protection after the Dayton peace accords until the CIA intercepted a phone call in which he broke the terms of a "secret deal" to stay out of politics, a Serbian newspaper claims. "Karadzic, indicted for genocide and war crimes, was under US protection until 2000, when the CIA intercepted his telephone conversation that clearly proved he personally chaired a meeting of his old political party," the Belgrade daily Blic quoted a "well-informed US]]>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 6:08:00http://t.love.com/308956883Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:41:00http://t.love.com/308798897

Croatia's Supreme court said Thursday it has reduced from seven to six years a jail term for an ex-general sentenced for war crimes committed on Serbs during the 1991-1995 war in this former Yugoslav republic. The court decided to reduce a prison term for former Croatian general Mirko Norac, 42, sentenced in May 2008 by a Zagreb court for war crimes against Serb civilians and prisoners of war during the conflict. It said that Norac was guilty of the crimes he had been charged with, but decided to acce]]>Fri, 12 Mar 2010 6:08:00http://t.love.com/308272982Fri, 12 Mar 2010 5:33:00http://t.love.com/308248428Fri, 12 Mar 2010 4:01:00http://t.love.com/308174600Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:13:00http://t.love.com/307995776
Croatia's efforts in dealing with war crimes cases are insufficient and the country lacks the political will to efficiently handle them, human rights groups said on Thursday. The efforts undertaken by the authorities regarding war crimes cases are "slow and ... as a whole they are insufficient," three non-governmental organisations, led by Documenta, which monitors war crimes trials, said in a statement. They also warned against lack of "political will and strategy for efficient processing of war crim]]>Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:05:00http://t.love.com/307953936Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:38:00http://t.love.com/307900759Thu, 11 Mar 2010 7:36:00http://t.love.com/307865222Thu, 11 Mar 2010 5:41:00http://t.love.com/307674942Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:42:00http://t.love.com/307508908Wed, 10 Mar 2010 8:50:00http://t.love.com/307498149Wed, 10 Mar 2010 8:17:00http://t.love.com/307135283Tue, 9 Mar 2010 10:26:00http://t.love.com/307051446Tue, 9 Mar 2010 5:58:00http://t.love.com/306939313Mon, 8 Mar 2010 21:10:00http://t.love.com/306900245Mon, 8 Mar 2010 18:12:00http://t.love.com/306890868
I am not defending Radovan Karadzic ("Karadzic blames Islamic militants for war," Web, Monday, and "Karadzic blames Muslims for killing," Geopolitics, Tuesday). However, there is a basis for his claim that Osama bin Laden's Muslim militants were active in the Balkan war. Instead of being honest brokers in what was a civil war, the Clinton administration, along with a willing media, successfully portrayed Serbian forces, including the Serbian people collectively, as the only villains. ]]>Mon, 8 Mar 2010 17:35:00http://t.love.com/306800560
On March 1, 2010, Ejup Ganic, a former member of Bosnia's presidency, was detained at Heathrow Airport in connection with an attack on Yugoslav forces in Sarajevo early in the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. Ganic was arrested by the London Metropolitan Police, who were acting on a provisional extradition warrant issued by Serbia. The warrant claims that more than 40 Serb soldiers in the Yugoslav National Army (JNA) were killed in the so-called Dobrovoljacka Street attack on May 3, 1992, after Bosnia had declared]]>Mon, 8 Mar 2010 12:46:00http://t.love.com/306760426Mon, 8 Mar 2010 10:51:00http://t.love.com/306533677Sun, 7 Mar 2010 16:55:00http://t.love.com/306525365Sun, 7 Mar 2010 16:01:15http://t.love.com/306515127Sun, 7 Mar 2010 14:55:00http://t.love.com/306484588
The Serbian government seem to be on the edge of a game changing move. They have asked for the extradition, from Britain, under an international warrant, of Ejup Ganic. Under international law there is no question that our government now has a duty to transfer him & he is currently in jail as various British politicians & media (ie C4) do their best to muddy the waters. ]]>Sun, 7 Mar 2010 11:56:00http://t.love.com/306223722Sat, 6 Mar 2010 5:35:00http://t.love.com/306146981

Top Spanish judge Baltazar Garzon on Friday gave nations seeking the extradition of alleged Serbian war criminal Veselin Vlahovic 40 days to formalise their requests. The High Court judge also confirmed a lower court ruling that Vlahovic, who is wanted for the murders of more than 100 people during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, be remanded in custody. Known as the "Monster of Grbavica" after the Sarajevo suburb where he is alleged to have committed his crimes, Vlahovic was detained near his home in the e]]>Fri, 5 Mar 2010 11:04:00http://t.love.com/305895529Fri, 5 Mar 2010 6:48:00
