I am sorry about all the victims of the conflicts, but I’m not guilty of Ovčara, former Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) officer Veselin Šljivančanin told B92.
Who cares about the HOS who were killed at Ovcara? Only other HOS sympathizers. The ICTY recognize them as paramilitaries, not that B92 bothered to mention this.
Misha Glenny once wrote that when Mladic was serving in Croatia in 1991, he got on the phone with one of the Croatian commanders and spoke to him like they were old pals from their army days -- even though the purpose of the call was to discuss the removal of heaps of Serbian bodies killed in action. Ya ya sure another Serbian fantasy story of perpetual victim-hood as the Serbs spin the story as usual and tell it just need some violins. It was the Croatian commander asking what happened to the captured Croatians and what he should say to their concerned mothers. The sick piece of work butcher Serb Ratko says tell they are all dead every last one of them.
Yeah, I was always sort of struck by the fact that prominent suspects from the various sides of the conflict seemed to maintain cordial relations with their so-called "enemies".
I've read often through the years that Tudjman admired Milosevic to the end. When Milosevic died, Gotovina was amongst the many suspects in the Hague Detention Unit to sign some sort of commemorative letter drafted by one of the inmates (probably Seselj - he was the last to sign and that was the sort of thing he would do for someone like Milosevic).

And then there is Louis Sell's account of how Milosevic complimented Izetbegovic at Dayton for his bravery in taking the Muslims to war in Bosnia. Interesting, by the way, that Milosevic should consider it brave of Muslims to fight Serbs. Hmmm, why might that be? I could have sworn that the Serbs were under severe threat in Bosnia...
Sljivo doesn't seem to be a bad sort, he seems to be the kind of person who obeys norms or orders without much thought.
Case in point one of the charges he was accused and convicted on was releasing prisoners into the 'care' of Serb militia, who then carried out a massacre. Sljivo doesn't deny a massacre took place. He said he simply didn't know it would take place once his JNA / JA unit withdrew.
Sljivo shows exactly the same myopia in the Hague prison. He was in a situation and it was best for him to keep on good terms with everybody. If they were ok with him that was great - it didn't matter to him if any of those people had ordered the death of Serbian civilians. It didn't matter to him that Gotovina is a convicted war criminal guilty of ethnic cleansing of Croatian Serbs, he admitted being friends with Gotovina.
There is humanity in Sljivo, but morality isn't something he bothers thinking about. In fact honestly speaking this attitude isn't uncommon among army officers.
The irony was that Sljivo said that when there were arguments about what national flag to put up in a cell / wing, it was agreed among inmates to put up the old Jugoslav flag.
The men that carried out the destruction of Jugoslavija upon the orders of their political class, are in fact living in something like the last Jugoslav state.
