Bosnia has said it won't extradite him, so I guess he'll continue his life outside of Croatia - which is probably good enough for the Croats who prosecuted him.

The Croats wanted him out of the political scene in Osijek, where he had so much power for many years.

The brought up his well-known crimes against Serb civilians during the war to down him. They didn't care so much about the justice for the Serbs as much as they couldn't tolerate Glavas any longer.

There are many other Croat politicians, such as Tomislav Mercep, who committed torture and murder on ethnic Serbian civilians, but they don't have any real political enemies so they are living free.

Hi Yaroslav

He did not say that at all - what he said was that the trial would have been more fair and just at the Hague.

Do give credit if the Hague is described as being fairer than the Zargreb court - he may have made a legitimate point here.

Even convicted Croatian war criminals [convicted within their own nations legal system] admit the Hague is biased towards Serbs.

I wonder if the Serbian government will react properly to this? What am i saying, they wont.
