Radovan Karadzic’s lawyers say the discovery of his laptop was staged by foreign intelligence agencies. His lawyer, Svetozar Vujacic, says that the laptop and discs that were taken from his client upon his arrest contain an audio recording of talks between Slobodan Milosevic and Karadzic regarding the rumored deal with U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke. Karadzic lawyers: Laptop discovery staged Political analyst Dejan Anastasijevic believes that the laptop story is nothing more than a stunt on the part of the former Bosnian Serb leader’s lawyers. Vujacic wondered how it was possible for no-one to notice a bag and laptop sitting on the side of the Batajnica road for 25 days, where he claims his client was apprehended. He said that the truth was that foreign agencies had been checking the data on Karadzic’s laptop the whole time. “In that time, the laptop and cassettes have been checked by who knows what foreign services,” the lawyer said. “I claim that they are preparing the field—since they probably destroyed it (the computer)—to say that it had been there for 25 days on that part of the road leading to Batajnica, and that it had been raining, that there had been floods and storms in the meantime, and that it was now irreparably damaged,” Vujacic said. He claims that the motive for destroying the laptop is to hide evidence of the Karadzic-Holbrooke agreement—more specifically, the audio recording of his conversation with Milosevic. Karadzic’s defense team initially claimed that he had been going on vacation when we was arrested, not fleeing, and that he only had had a pair swimming trunks and a swimming cap on his person. The story of the laptop surfaced three days after the arrest. Karadzic’s other legal representative Goran Petronijevic claims that besides getting some rest and swimming, his client had wanted to prepare his defense while on vacation. “He wanted to transfer those cassettes on to a disc and make copies of them in order to prepare his defense. Some of the discs would have gone to state institutions, and the others to his defense team, and he would have kept one for himself. And then what happened, happened,” he said. According to a statement from the Action Team for Hague Cooperation, the bag with the laptop and 55 discs, newspaper articles and two books, was found on the Batajnica road after an anonymous tip-off. A DNA analysis will confirm whether the laptop does indeed belong to Karadzic. Radovan Karadzic (FoNet, archive)
