Radić tells Hague fugitives to surrender

From the beginning, a majority of Serbs pointed at the judges at the ICTY as biased and anti-Serbian, only because harshed sentences were handed to Serb war criminals as General Krstic, Goran Jelisic «The Serbian Adolf», the commander of Brcko, if I remember well, and a few ordinary Serbs who transformed themselves into war criminals, such as Zoran Zizic, a waiter in a café, who was a "regular visitor" at Omarska and Keraterm, and Dragan Nikolic, the commander of the Susica camp where so many innocent Bosniaks were murdered daily. In their cases, their sentences were well desserved.

Very few Serbs dared to admit that the ICTY consisted of «esteemed international judges», such as Mrs Arbour, who could stick to the facts and not politics, as Mr Borovic, Mr Radic's lawyer, so well established in his address to the Serbian journalists.

A few sentences looked strange to me and many of us, simply because we did not hear all the facts and all the circumstances.

In this case, it seems that Mr Radic had nothing to do with the Ovcara massacre, but there are many out there who did the killing and are free. I agree with Mr Radic that all war criminals should surrender... and I would aplly this affirmation to all Croats and Bosniaks who killed innocent people.

«Chief Hague Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte said it is incomprehensible that a person found guilty of abusing 200 people can be sentenced to five years of imprisonment...»

This is so logical that I don't understand that Serbs would not agree with such a statement. I honestly belive, more and more, that the only solution is a COMMISSION OF TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION. I have said this all the way and all three nations should participate. All the facts have to be place on the table, discussed, and sanctionned. This is the only step that would bring comprehension, acceptation, truth, reconciliation and peace.

I find it hard to understand that no posters, Croat, Serb or Bosniak, has expressed their opinion on what Radic suggested the alleged war criminals?

Is it because the three ethnies don't consider their 'fighters' war criminals? Could we establish that people like Gotovina, Bobetko, Oric, Ceku, Mladic and others are icons in their land, heroes, and the Hague has nothing to rule against them!

This silence is very disturbing.

Good for him.

The croats however are still screaming for blood.

From the beginning, it wasn't just the Serbs that pointed at the judges of the ICTY as being biased. Many people feel the same way, so to look at this through blinders isn't valid.

Since the EU uses the ICTY as their "ace in the hole", I would love to see how the EU holds up the integration of Croatia based on the two more recent items in the news:

Croatia doesn't get along with their very important neighbor, Slovenia. Slovenia is making a lot of noise about this.

Croatia has done NOTHING to stop the pro-Ustashe concerts.

The bottom line is that since there wasn't the ability for persons inside the former republics of Yugoslavia to tend to what the world classified as genocide, atrocities, etc; a governing body was put together called the ICTY.

You can't have your cake & eat it too. You asked for it, you got it.
