Wow. icj1, the CB of B92, is now curing people of fictitious diagnoses. icj1's devotion to the medical practices of Mengele is steadfast.

Fact-based medecine requires data such as EEGs and MRI scans to support a diagnosis of a neurological disorder, such as "hallucinations". We can ask icj1 to provide such evidence, but he/she has (miserably) failed to do so on every request.

Dear readers, icj1 is not only a devoted practioner of Mengele medecine, icj1 is also devoted to the warped ICTY standards of evidence. In the warped world of icj1 and ICTY "evidence", fictitious figments and unsubstantiated inferences, in the hollow mind of an accuser, are considered "evidence".

icj1, the CB of B92, repetitively labels people, and even entire ethnic groups, with unsubstantiated claims of neurological disorders. icj1, the CB of B92, unfortunately can not engage in civil discourse without repetitively resorting to bigoted branding of people and ethnic groups.

The entire case against Milosevic and Karadzic was built around the premise of a “Joint Criminal Enterprise” (that Karadzic and Milosevic conspired together to cleanse Bosnia and create a “Greater Serbia” – an accusation that was dropped against Milosevic even during his trial).

Paragraph 9 of the indictment against Karadzic says: "Radovan KARADZIC participated in an overarching joint criminal enterprise to permanently remove Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat inhabitants from the territories of BiH claimed as Bosnian Serb territory by means which included the commission of [crimes]." And in Paragraph 11 the indictment asserts that "Radovan KARADZIC acted in concert with other members of this criminal enterprise including [...] Slobodan MILOSEVIC".

Conversely, paragraph 6 of the indictment against Milosevic says: "Slobodan MILOSEVIC participated in the joint criminal enterprise [...] The purpose of this joint criminal enterprise was the forcible and permanent removal of the majority of non-Serbs, principally Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats, from large areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the commission of crimes." And in Paragraph 7, "The individuals participating in this joint criminal enterprise included Slobodan MILOSEVIC, Radovan KARADZIC, [etc ...]".

The charges against Milosevic and Karadzic have been linked for the Hague for all these years an still are...funny how they are now "separate" for the anti serb bashers...

Mr. Milosovic thought he was being poisned. An antibiotic was found in blood tests. This antibiotic could reduce the effect of medications Mr.Milosovic was taking for High Blood pressure ( a side effect of this antibiotic). Mr. Milosovic did not need an antibiotic. Mr Milosovic was therefore poisoned and killed in custody, by the Hague.

It is really, really great to see how the albanians, croats & bosnian muslims on this forum are just so disturbed to see this story gain more and more traction in the West.

The lies and CIA paid propaganda machine is falling apart;
http://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/sibley-shedding-new-light-on-slobodan-milosevic

The Milosevic ruling also vindicates those who didn’t think he was the villain that Western powers, especially the United States, made him out to be.

“The idea that he started (the war) is completely false,” says James Bissett, who served as Canada’s ambassador to Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and testified on Milosevic’s behalf. “I don’t think he was guilty of wanting a ‘Greater Serbia’ or genocide.”

Will those who vilified Milosevic admit they were wrong? Not likely.

As Bissett puts it: “Even in the early days, it was apparent that most of the media reporting about the cause and course of the Yugoslav fighting was biased. In effect, the Serbs were branded as the bad guys, and any news developments were interpreted on that basis.”

It seems that when governments need a bad guy to justify questionable actions, propaganda supersedes the truth.

In addition, since B92 has not replied, yet, unless you are B92 staff, you can't tell whether the association of the chaos with Ivica is true or false. Only the B92 staff knows that :)

@Alex R
Your comments about co-conspiracy are valid however all co-conspirators have had their own trial. If the Karadzic judgement had said Milosevic did all in his power to stop Karadzic, that might have been considered an exoneration.
The judgement says that he did not agree with the JCE, it does not say that he was not part of the JCE.

Andy Wilcoxson, Neil Clark et al are seeing what they want to see. The two important pieces in the paragraph about Milosevic are these:
"provided assistance in the form of personnel, provisions, and arms "
"(did not agree) with the common plan"
This would imply that Milosevic knew about the plans of the JCE, and he did not agree, but still helped. To me this would mean that he would be found guilty if there was a trial.

Also this line
"not satisfied that there was sufficient evidence presented in this case" - again a separate investigation would be needed, Did Milosevic really disagree or was he using plausible deniability? If Milosevic knew what was happening, surely he could have stopped them. If you are going to shoot an innocent person and I hand you a gun while saying don't do it, am I an accomplice or not? I think most juries would say you are an accomplice.
Can anything here be used to defend Milosevic? I guess it is good that he disagreed with Karadzic, it is also an indication that he did not give any direct orders for war crimes in Bosnia

Serbs are disturbing people. No one of their neighbors in Yugoslavia thought that they will arrive to do such a disturbing crimes. I’m sure that there was not a single Croat, Bosnian or Albanian man in Jugoslavia, who even passed on his mind that the disturbing Serbian neighbors will kill and massacres women, children and elderly, like unleashed dogs just to harm them. You overpass any imagination.
The disturbing dogs, the psychopathic minds did not fight with men in battle, they went in villages and massacres women, children and elderly people, just to harm these men the mostly.
Of course Milosevic is not guilty, he did not kill nobody with his own hands. I’m sure that even Hitler will be a free man, because even him like Milosevic was not responsible for what his army did.

This is the problems with lying. The constant struggle to sustain a narrative without the use of memory or evidence inevitably fails as it runs into contradictory or absurd claims.

Nobody who has been honest about the recent history of the Balkans is shocked by this little discovery. The only difference here is that the very center of the promotion of Serbian guilt couldn't avoid documenting the innocence of a Serb propped up as the center of Serbian evil.

But for those who have been lying all this time, we know this will not even slow them down. Their passions were never born of any kind of truth.

The question here is not what each group does in trying to "exonerate" or justify its own actors but rather the question is about how Western media has had this fanatical, anti-Serbian, propaganda machine painting all others in the Balkans as “good” and Serbs as “bad” for 25 years. We now see with this paragraph buried in the Karadzic verdict that Milosevic (the president of Serbia and Yugoslavia; btw no other head of state of any former yugo republic was indicted like he was so your comparison to them makes no sense) could not be convicted of the harshest accusation which was that he conspired to commit genocide and to ethnically cleanse Bosnia of its non-Serb residents. Yes he helped the Serbs of Bosnia with money and arms but so did the Islamic world by helping the Bosnian Muslims and so did Germany, Hungary, Vatican etc. by helping the Croats with arms and money. Turns out Milosevic was right all along when he said to the West; “We are not angels but we are neither the devils you are making us out to be.”

It took 25 years to just show the world that crimes were committed by all sides in Bosnia. This is something the Serbs were saying all along and that is why this is a “victory” for the dead president….

aren't there two and only two states a person can be in? can they not either be guilty or not-guilty. that's is it. one or the other. slobo was never fully found to be guilty. there was/is nothing (short of politics) preventing the court to posthumously determine guilt, or non-guilt (innocence). as it stands, he died while on trial. the trial ended without a guilty verdict. as western courts go, you're innocent until proven guilty -- thus a non-verdict directly implies non-guilt which further implies innocence. like it or not.
without the ability to determine guilt within his own trial, tertiary evidence from other trials that involve Slobo have some impact on the lack of decision of his trial. in his he could not be found guilty, and he was also not found to be associated in guilt with karadzic.
no guilty verdict in own trial,
no ability to associate with a criminal enterprise in another trial.
innocence by default may be the official case, but practically speaking the inability to nail guilt down suggest a high degree of lack of evidence to do so, which would further suggest a large semblance of innocence than guilt.
oh and even the court found slobo to be a staunch federalist, a defender of the commie jugoslavia, not a nationalist, like karadzic, and that ilk.

"The prosecution and defense of Karadzic was under no obligation to produce evidence that Milosevic is guilty or innocent."

The indictment against Karadzic lists Slobodan Milosevic as his co-conspirator, and so the prosecution was obliged to present evidence against him. The way the prosecution wrote the indictment, the judges had to make findings regarding Milosevic's culpability.

Claim: "If the judgement had said that there was evidence that Milosevic was innocent, maybe the article would be justified"

Rebuttal: The judgment does cite exculpatory evidence showing that Milosevic was opposed to ethnic cleansing. The evidence wasn't just "insufficient," the judges went beyond that and cited evidence contradicting the Prosecution's allegation that Slobodan Milosevic was part of the joint criminal enterprise.

Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic were accused of undertaking the same joint criminal enterprise together. If Milosevic wasn't part of the joint criminal enterprise, then he couldn't have been guilty of the charges against him at his own trial because it was the joint criminal enterprise itself that linked him to the crimes committed in Bosnia. So yes, it's an exoneration of sorts.

I suppose Milosevic can't technically be exonerated because he was never convicted. If we want to talk about legal technicalities, then he's still got a presumption of innocence because he was never convicted, and he never will be convicted because he's dead.

Dwight : I am not saying that Milosevic is guilty, all I am saying is that this does not prove that he is innocent or "exonerated".

He was hiding his crimes good enough to slip away formally innocent. Milosevic was the enemy of all the sides involved. That’s why he is loved Russia more than in his damned Serbia. With or without him Serbia is put on the knees for good I think.

Why limit the range to Karadzic's trial? There are many more trials that did not prove Milosevic's guilt in former Yugoslavia. E.g., the Nuremberg trials, the Sacco and Vanzetti trials, the Salem witches trials, Socrates' trial. RT and Clark can be more thorough.

There seems to be a recurring trend among Balkan countries and territories in which a vague ruling by the Hague due to "lack of evidence" is somehow translated into "full exoneration" by the group cheering on the defendant. Croats did this with Gotovina and Glavas. Albanians did (and will continue to do) this with Haradinaj, and apparently Serbs will do this with Milosevic. Is he guilty of orchestrating a joint-criminal enterprise as some suggest? No more or no less than Tudjman but sadly/thankfully both have gone to the grave.

Regardless, "no evidence" does not automatically translate into "innocent".

The only 'news' here is that the ICTY has finally accepted some basic facts that were known at the time by everybody, but that is not what the ICTY is for. It is for handing out indictments on hearsay, second, third and other hand 'evidence' to get the suspect in to its jail while it takes its own sweet time in looking for actual evidence to support the indictment.

The ICTY has used this technique over and over again, even changing its own rules and legal procedures always to the detriment of the indictee.

Keeping someone in jail for years before coming to trial is simply not acceptable in the West unless you are poor, black, from the wrong background or all of the above (the USA being the Olympic Gold medallist for banging up non-whites by quite some margin).

As usual, the kangaroo court seeks to sweep up its perversion of basic jurisprudence and on-the-fly 'humanitarian law' under the carpet.

The only good news is the mass of documents produced and made public, though in the case of the secret investigation of Alija Izetbegovic by the ICTY, those have been sealed and kept secret. And this from a court that claims such public trials and transparency are key to 'reconciling the warring parties in the region'.

Your example is not relevant because it has not come out that the authorities "had no evidence to implicate" Milosevic, it has come out that ICTY "is not satisfied that there was sufficient evidence presented in this case to find that Slobodan Milosevic agreed with the common plan". This means that nothing in the trial of Karadzic would be sufficient to prove that Milosevic is guilty. This is a long way from exoneration.

If me and you rob a house together, you go in the front window and I go in the back window. I can then be put on trial and convicted for robbery without any evidence shown that proves that you helped him. This does not exonerate you.
For instance, there may be a video of you breaking the window that was not shown at my trial, but it will be shown at your trial.

I am not saying that Milosevic is guilty, all I am saying is that this does not prove that he is innocent or "exonerated".
In general, each member of the "Joint Criminal Enterprise" that the ICTY has accused people of has their own trial which would decide on what level of responsibility they have, if any.

Let’s say you have been convicted for crime X and are in prison. During another person’s trial it comes out that the authorities really had no evidence to implicate you so according to your logic you should continue in prison and finish your sentence despite this evidence.
The trials of Milosevic and Karadizic are very similar because the charges would be nearly identical. So the same ground would be covered.
A trial judge in any normal country that would make such a statement where there is no evidence Milosevic agreed to a common plan then a page or two later claim that he provided arms etc would be removed from the bench for incompetence. This is mistrial heaven given on a silver platter to the defence. Its called kukuland stuff.

Now that the trials are over let the Hague try Germany and the Vatican for initiating recognition of Croatia and Slovenia which led to the outbreak of civil war.

Were it not for the self-serving recognitions (80 years in the making), hostilities would not have begun, and a peaceful dissolution could have been brokered.

Let us then try those who criminally provided arms to the combatants against UN Resolutions. And who brought and armed foreign fighters (also against UN Resolutions).

Milosevic was a disaster for Serbia. Inflation, corruption, on a grand scale - and that was in Serbia against Serbs.

Right, which is not a criminal act. I hope all those who murdered civilians are facing justice (even though we know that those who murdered Serbian civilians are not).

The question here is not what each group does in trying to "exonerate" or justify its own actors but rather the question is about how Western media has had this fanatical, anti-Serbian, propaganda machine painting all others in the Balkans as “good” and Serbs as “bad” for 25 years. We now see with this paragraph buried in the Karadzic verdict that Milosevic (the president of Serbia and Yugoslavia; btw no other head of state of any former yugo republic was indicted like he was so your comparison to them makes no sense) could not be convicted of the harshest accusation which was that he conspired to commit genocide and to ethnically cleanse Bosnia of its non-Serb residents. Yes he helped the Serbs of Bosnia with money and arms but so did the Islamic world by helping the Bosnian Muslims and so did Germany, Hungary, Vatican etc. by helping the Croats with arms and money. Turns out Milosevic was right all along when he said to the West; “We are not angels but we are neither the devils you are making us out to be.”

It took 25 years to just show the world that crimes were committed by all sides in Bosnia. This is something the Serbs were saying all along and that is why this is a “victory” for the dead president….

This is the problems with lying. The constant struggle to sustain a narrative without the use of memory or evidence inevitably fails as it runs into contradictory or absurd claims.

Nobody who has been honest about the recent history of the Balkans is shocked by this little discovery. The only difference here is that the very center of the promotion of Serbian guilt couldn't avoid documenting the innocence of a Serb propped up as the center of Serbian evil.

But for those who have been lying all this time, we know this will not even slow them down. Their passions were never born of any kind of truth.

The evidence wasn't just "insufficient," the judges went beyond that and cited evidence contradicting the Prosecution's allegation that Slobodan Milosevic was part of the joint criminal enterprise.

Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic were accused of undertaking the same joint criminal enterprise together. If Milosevic wasn't part of the joint criminal enterprise, then he couldn't have been guilty of the charges against him at his own trial because it was the joint criminal enterprise itself that linked him to the crimes committed in Bosnia. So yes, it's an exoneration of sorts.

I suppose Milosevic can't technically be exonerated because he was never convicted. If we want to talk about legal technicalities, then he's still got a presumption of innocence because he was never convicted, and he never will be convicted because he's dead.

The Serbs should be sending these articles on Milosevic out to the world as The Hague killed a man who was a lot less responsible for the wars in Yugoslavia than the Croatian Ustasa diaspora terrorists and Albanian drug/human trafficking mafia who financed the terrorist Muslim radical group called the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Milosevic was a disaster for Serbia. Inflation, corruption, on a grand scale - and that was in Serbia against Serbs.

Politically he was an opportunist. He did not seek to negotiate peace.

He was also a smoker. If he'd given up, he might have lived long enough to get a verdict!

@Alex R
Your comments about co-conspiracy are valid however all co-conspirators have had their own trial. If the Karadzic judgement had said Milosevic did all in his power to stop Karadzic, that might have been considered an exoneration.
The judgement says that he did not agree with the JCE, it does not say that he was not part of the JCE.

Andy Wilcoxson, Neil Clark et al are seeing what they want to see. The two important pieces in the paragraph about Milosevic are these:
"provided assistance in the form of personnel, provisions, and arms "
"(did not agree) with the common plan"
This would imply that Milosevic knew about the plans of the JCE, and he did not agree, but still helped. To me this would mean that he would be found guilty if there was a trial.

Also this line
"not satisfied that there was sufficient evidence presented in this case" - again a separate investigation would be needed, Did Milosevic really disagree or was he using plausible deniability? If Milosevic knew what was happening, surely he could have stopped them. If you are going to shoot an innocent person and I hand you a gun while saying don't do it, am I an accomplice or not? I think most juries would say you are an accomplice.
Can anything here be used to defend Milosevic? I guess it is good that he disagreed with Karadzic, it is also an indication that he did not give any direct orders for war crimes in Bosnia

It is really, really great to see how the albanians, croats & bosnian muslims on this forum are just so disturbed to see this story gain more and more traction in the West.

The lies and CIA paid propaganda machine is falling apart;
http://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/sibley-shedding-new-light-on-slobodan-milosevic

The Milosevic ruling also vindicates those who didn’t think he was the villain that Western powers, especially the United States, made him out to be.

“The idea that he started (the war) is completely false,” says James Bissett, who served as Canada’s ambassador to Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and testified on Milosevic’s behalf. “I don’t think he was guilty of wanting a ‘Greater Serbia’ or genocide.”

Will those who vilified Milosevic admit they were wrong? Not likely.

As Bissett puts it: “Even in the early days, it was apparent that most of the media reporting about the cause and course of the Yugoslav fighting was biased. In effect, the Serbs were branded as the bad guys, and any news developments were interpreted on that basis.”

It seems that when governments need a bad guy to justify questionable actions, propaganda supersedes the truth.

aren't there two and only two states a person can be in? can they not either be guilty or not-guilty. that's is it. one or the other. slobo was never fully found to be guilty. there was/is nothing (short of politics) preventing the court to posthumously determine guilt, or non-guilt (innocence). as it stands, he died while on trial. the trial ended without a guilty verdict. as western courts go, you're innocent until proven guilty -- thus a non-verdict directly implies non-guilt which further implies innocence. like it or not.
without the ability to determine guilt within his own trial, tertiary evidence from other trials that involve Slobo have some impact on the lack of decision of his trial. in his he could not be found guilty, and he was also not found to be associated in guilt with karadzic.
no guilty verdict in own trial,
no ability to associate with a criminal enterprise in another trial.
innocence by default may be the official case, but practically speaking the inability to nail guilt down suggest a high degree of lack of evidence to do so, which would further suggest a large semblance of innocence than guilt.
oh and even the court found slobo to be a staunch federalist, a defender of the commie jugoslavia, not a nationalist, like karadzic, and that ilk.

Why limit the range to Karadzic's trial? There are many more trials that did not prove Milosevic's guilt in former Yugoslavia. E.g., the Nuremberg trials, the Sacco and Vanzetti trials, the Salem witches trials, Socrates' trial. RT and Clark can be more thorough.

Serbs are disturbing people. No one of their neighbors in Yugoslavia thought that they will arrive to do such a disturbing crimes. I’m sure that there was not a single Croat, Bosnian or Albanian man in Jugoslavia, who even passed on his mind that the disturbing Serbian neighbors will kill and massacres women, children and elderly, like unleashed dogs just to harm them. You overpass any imagination.
The disturbing dogs, the psychopathic minds did not fight with men in battle, they went in villages and massacres women, children and elderly people, just to harm these men the mostly.
Of course Milosevic is not guilty, he did not kill nobody with his own hands. I’m sure that even Hitler will be a free man, because even him like Milosevic was not responsible for what his army did.

"... has caused complete chaos among idiots." Neil Clark is a moron , full stop. He copied this article from Andy Wilcoxson and it is full of inaccuracies, just like his other articles. If this does not convince you that RT is a propaganda outfit then nothing will.


The prosecution and defense of Karadzic was under no obligation to produce evidence that Milosevic is guilty or innocent
You cannot be exonerated (found not guilty) during someone else's trial. That should be the end of discussion.
If the judgement had said that there was evidence that Milosevic was innocent, maybe the article would be justified, but "insufficient evidence that he agreed with the common plan" is not the same as "did not agree with the plan", "stopped the plan", "innocent", "not guilty"

Milosevic was a disaster for Serbia. Inflation, corruption, on a grand scale - and that was in Serbia against Serbs.

Politically he was an opportunist. He did not seek to negotiate peace.

He was also a smoker. If he'd given up, he might have lived long enough to get a verdict!

Your example is not relevant because it has not come out that the authorities "had no evidence to implicate" Milosevic, it has come out that ICTY "is not satisfied that there was sufficient evidence presented in this case to find that Slobodan Milosevic agreed with the common plan". This means that nothing in the trial of Karadzic would be sufficient to prove that Milosevic is guilty. This is a long way from exoneration.

If me and you rob a house together, you go in the front window and I go in the back window. I can then be put on trial and convicted for robbery without any evidence shown that proves that you helped him. This does not exonerate you.
For instance, there may be a video of you breaking the window that was not shown at my trial, but it will be shown at your trial.

I am not saying that Milosevic is guilty, all I am saying is that this does not prove that he is innocent or "exonerated".
In general, each member of the "Joint Criminal Enterprise" that the ICTY has accused people of has their own trial which would decide on what level of responsibility they have, if any.

Actually they were not nearly identical, at all. Milosevic had a long list of charges concerning events in Croatia and Kosovo that Karadzic did not have.

But, as always, I agree with the CE of B92 forums sj that ICTY should follow the command of the CE of B92 forums sj and charge Karadzic now for the same charges as Milosevic so that the reality can match the analysis of the CE of B92 forums sj, as it should!

"The Trial Chamber of the Karadzic case found, at paragraph 3460, page 1303, of the Trial Judgement, that 'there was no sufficient evidence presented in this case to find that Slobodan Milosevic agreed with the common plan'. The Trial Chamber found earlier in the same paragraph that 'Milosevic provided assistance in the form of personnel, provisions and arms to Bosnian Serbs during the conflict'."

Right, which is not a criminal act. I hope all those who murdered civilians are facing justice (even though we know that those who murdered Serbian civilians are not). But the cause for Serbs in Bosnia to fight against the creation of an Islamic State, which was Alija Izetbegovic's intention, was completely justified. The Serbs west of the Drina river remember very well the Croatian Nazi state NDH and what happened to them when they didn't have institutions to protect themselves from becoming persecuted minorities.

The trials of Milosevic and Karadizic are very similar because the charges would be nearly identical. So the same ground would be covered.
A trial judge in any normal country that would make such a statement where there is no evidence Milosevic agreed to a common plan then a page or two later claim that he provided arms etc would be removed from the bench for incompetence. This is mistrial heaven given on a silver platter to the defence. Its called kukuland stuff.

The lies and CIA paid propaganda machine is falling apart;
http://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/sibley-shedding-new-light-on-slobodan-milosevic

The Milosevic ruling also vindicates those who didn’t think he was the villain that Western powers, especially the United States, made him out to be.

“The idea that he started (the war) is completely false,” says James Bissett, who served as Canada’s ambassador to Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and testified on Milosevic’s behalf. “I don’t think he was guilty of wanting a ‘Greater Serbia’ or genocide.”

Will those who vilified Milosevic admit they were wrong? Not likely.

As Bissett puts it: “Even in the early days, it was apparent that most of the media reporting about the cause and course of the Yugoslav fighting was biased. In effect, the Serbs were branded as the bad guys, and any news developments were interpreted on that basis.”

It seems that when governments need a bad guy to justify questionable actions, propaganda supersedes the truth.

The question here is not what each group does in trying to "exonerate" or justify its own actors but rather the question is about how Western media has had this fanatical, anti-Serbian, propaganda machine painting all others in the Balkans as “good” and Serbs as “bad” for 25 years. We now see with this paragraph buried in the Karadzic verdict that Milosevic (the president of Serbia and Yugoslavia; btw no other head of state of any former yugo republic was indicted like he was so your comparison to them makes no sense) could not be convicted of the harshest accusation which was that he conspired to commit genocide and to ethnically cleanse Bosnia of its non-Serb residents. Yes he helped the Serbs of Bosnia with money and arms but so did the Islamic world by helping the Bosnian Muslims and so did Germany, Hungary, Vatican etc. by helping the Croats with arms and money. Turns out Milosevic was right all along when he said to the West; “We are not angels but we are neither the devils you are making us out to be.”

It took 25 years to just show the world that crimes were committed by all sides in Bosnia. This is something the Serbs were saying all along and that is why this is a “victory” for the dead president….

Now that the trials are over let the Hague try Germany and the Vatican for initiating recognition of Croatia and Slovenia which led to the outbreak of civil war.

Were it not for the self-serving recognitions (80 years in the making), hostilities would not have begun, and a peaceful dissolution could have been brokered.

Let us then try those who criminally provided arms to the combatants against UN Resolutions. And who brought and armed foreign fighters (also against UN Resolutions).

Why limit the range to Karadzic's trial? There are many more trials that did not prove Milosevic's guilt in former Yugoslavia. E.g., the Nuremberg trials, the Sacco and Vanzetti trials, the Salem witches trials, Socrates' trial. RT and Clark can be more thorough.

@Dwight

"The prosecution and defense of Karadzic was under no obligation to produce evidence that Milosevic is guilty or innocent."

The indictment against Karadzic lists Slobodan Milosevic as his co-conspirator, and so the prosecution was obliged to present evidence against him. The way the prosecution wrote the indictment, the judges had to make findings regarding Milosevic's culpability.

Claim: "If the judgement had said that there was evidence that Milosevic was innocent, maybe the article would be justified"

Rebuttal: The judgment does cite exculpatory evidence showing that Milosevic was opposed to ethnic cleansing. The evidence wasn't just "insufficient," the judges went beyond that and cited evidence contradicting the Prosecution's allegation that Slobodan Milosevic was part of the joint criminal enterprise.

Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic were accused of undertaking the same joint criminal enterprise together. If Milosevic wasn't part of the joint criminal enterprise, then he couldn't have been guilty of the charges against him at his own trial because it was the joint criminal enterprise itself that linked him to the crimes committed in Bosnia. So yes, it's an exoneration of sorts.

I suppose Milosevic can't technically be exonerated because he was never convicted. If we want to talk about legal technicalities, then he's still got a presumption of innocence because he was never convicted, and he never will be convicted because he's dead.

The only 'news' here is that the ICTY has finally accepted some basic facts that were known at the time by everybody, but that is not what the ICTY is for. It is for handing out indictments on hearsay, second, third and other hand 'evidence' to get the suspect in to its jail while it takes its own sweet time in looking for actual evidence to support the indictment.

The ICTY has used this technique over and over again, even changing its own rules and legal procedures always to the detriment of the indictee.

Keeping someone in jail for years before coming to trial is simply not acceptable in the West unless you are poor, black, from the wrong background or all of the above (the USA being the Olympic Gold medallist for banging up non-whites by quite some margin).

As usual, the kangaroo court seeks to sweep up its perversion of basic jurisprudence and on-the-fly 'humanitarian law' under the carpet.

The only good news is the mass of documents produced and made public, though in the case of the secret investigation of Alija Izetbegovic by the ICTY, those have been sealed and kept secret. And this from a court that claims such public trials and transparency are key to 'reconciling the warring parties in the region'.

There seems to be a recurring trend among Balkan countries and territories in which a vague ruling by the Hague due to "lack of evidence" is somehow translated into "full exoneration" by the group cheering on the defendant. Croats did this with Gotovina and Glavas. Albanians did (and will continue to do) this with Haradinaj, and apparently Serbs will do this with Milosevic. Is he guilty of orchestrating a joint-criminal enterprise as some suggest? No more or no less than Tudjman but sadly/thankfully both have gone to the grave.

Regardless, "no evidence" does not automatically translate into "innocent".

This is the problems with lying. The constant struggle to sustain a narrative without the use of memory or evidence inevitably fails as it runs into contradictory or absurd claims.

Nobody who has been honest about the recent history of the Balkans is shocked by this little discovery. The only difference here is that the very center of the promotion of Serbian guilt couldn't avoid documenting the innocence of a Serb propped up as the center of Serbian evil.

But for those who have been lying all this time, we know this will not even slow them down. Their passions were never born of any kind of truth.

Paragraph 9 of the indictment against Karadzic says: "Radovan KARADZIC participated in an overarching joint criminal enterprise to permanently remove Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat inhabitants from the territories of BiH claimed as Bosnian Serb territory by means which included the commission of [crimes]." And in Paragraph 11 the indictment asserts that "Radovan KARADZIC acted in concert with other members of this criminal enterprise including [...] Slobodan MILOSEVIC".

Conversely, paragraph 6 of the indictment against Milosevic says: "Slobodan MILOSEVIC participated in the joint criminal enterprise [...] The purpose of this joint criminal enterprise was the forcible and permanent removal of the majority of non-Serbs, principally Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats, from large areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the commission of crimes."

@Alex R
Your comments about co-conspiracy are valid however all co-conspirators have had their own trial. If the Karadzic judgement had said Milosevic did all in his power to stop Karadzic, that might have been considered an exoneration.
The judgement says that he did not agree with the JCE, it does not say that he was not part of the JCE.

Andy Wilcoxson, Neil Clark et al are seeing what they want to see. The two important pieces in the paragraph about Milosevic are these:
"provided assistance in the form of personnel, provisions, and arms "
"(did not agree) with the common plan"
This would imply that Milosevic knew about the plans of the JCE, and he did not agree, but still helped. To me this would mean that he would be found guilty if there was a trial.

Also this line
"not satisfied that there was sufficient evidence presented in this case" - again a separate investigation would be needed, Did Milosevic really disagree or was he using plausible deniability? If Milosevic knew what was happening, surely he could have stopped them. If you are going to shoot an innocent person and I hand you a gun while saying don't do it, am I an accomplice or not? I think most juries would say you are an accomplice.
Can anything here be used to defend Milosevic? I guess it is good that he disagreed with Karadzic, it is also an indication that he did not give any direct orders for war crimes in Bosnia

Why the CB of B92 chose to ignore this content and focus his/her fetish on "Ivica" is a reflection of icj1's dementia and does not represent the entire content of the article.

The entire case against Milosevic and Karadzic was built around the premise of a “Joint Criminal Enterprise” (that Karadzic and Milosevic conspired together to cleanse Bosnia and create a “Greater Serbia” – an accusation that was dropped against Milosevic even during his trial).

Chances of this being a main news item on the BBC is slim much like what is going on in the US and the riots. Yes they have mentioned it now and again but now its not even on the main page of the BBC. However, if that was in Moscow then there would be 24/7 coverage with minute by minute reports.
(sj, 16 August 2016 11:57)

sj,
Any riot in the U.S. is limited to only one small part of a city. If this had happened in Russia, Putin would have the rioters all killed. Just look at what he did to Pussy Riot. Vlad is far more ruthless than even Erdogen.

A neighbors dog took a shit in my yard this morning. You did not read about this incident on the front page of the BBC because is it not newsworthy , just like this ICTY article. It does not mean that there is no "free" press.

I would expect a few words in the Serbian papers because it seems Dacic got an erection when he read the story.
I'm not surprised that RT would write about it, they will print anything that they think makes the "decadent West" look bad. If my neighbor was American, they would probably print a story about the dog-shitting incident being done by America to make Serbs look bad.

"Niel Clark's column for RT earlier this month, asserting that the Hague Tribunal "exonerated" Slobodan Milosevic, has caused complete chaos."

Has caused complete chaos for whom?! Ivica?! lol

Btw, this is a few months old... is nobody's fault that information is slow to reach Ivica!
(icj1, 15 August 2016 15:46)

icj1, the CB of B92, is falsely associating Ivica with chaos. The news, as written, was slow to reach Radio Free Europe.
(Amnesty Yugoslavia, 15 August 2016 17:27)

I did not associate Ivica with chaos. B92 mentioned that some chaos was caused and then the majority of the B92 news story is about Ivica's reaction. So I asked the question. Feel free to consult a dictionary in any language about the meaning of "?" since English comprehension is challenging for you lol

In addition, since B92 has not replied, yet, unless you are B92 staff, you can't tell whether the association of the chaos with Ivica is true or false. Only the B92 staff knows that :)

As for being uninformed, the only person that B92 mentioned complaining is Ivica again. But it's nobody's fault that news from March 2016 reaches Ivica now, either because he does not read or because he relies on slow sources of information like RT which reports now information that has been out for more than 4 months lol

No medical data for hallucinations or any other neurological disorder has been offered by icj1, the CB of B92. The CB of B92 is having only mild mental impairment today as the rubbish usually emenating from his/her Mengele-admiring mind associates a neurological disorder with entire an entire ethnic group.

icj1, the CB of B92, should provide us with evidence substantiating his/her medical diagnoses before prematurely labelling a person or an entire ethnic group with a neurological disorder. Such unscientific, Mengele-inspired claims particularly when associated with an ethnic group, are common rubbiish spewed by icj1, the CB of B92.

Mr. Milosovic thought he was being poisned. An antibiotic was found in blood tests. This antibiotic could reduce the effect of medications Mr.Milosovic was taking for High Blood pressure ( a side effect of this antibiotic). Mr. Milosovic did not need an antibiotic. Mr Milosovic was therefore poisoned and killed in custody, by the Hague.

It took 25 years to just show the world that crimes were committed by all sides in Bosnia. This is something the Serbs were saying all along and that is why this is a “victory” for the dead president….
(gg, 15 August 2016 22:34)

ICTY has determined long ago, mate, that crimes were committed by all sides in Bosnia.
(icj1, 16 August 2016 15:54)

The ICTY “determined long ago that all sides committed” crimes; How’s it not represented in the judgments then?
(gg, 16 August 2016 17:08)

Mate, don't embarrass yourself by showing even more ignorance. Of course it is represented in the judgements. By 1998 ICTY had already determined, IN JUDGEMENTS, that individuals from all sides in Bosnia & Herzegovina (Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs) had committed crimes.
(icj1, 16 August 2016 20:07)

What actual points are you trying to make? You sound insane
(gg, 16 August 2016 21:40)

Well, let me list them for you:

1. Your writing that "it took 25 years to just show the world that crimes were committed by all sides in Bosnia" is (i) a lie or (ii) ignorance since ICTY has already determined that, IN JUDGEMENTS, since 1998. Feel free to choose option (i) or (ii).

2. Just because you are ignorant or liar, does not make the Serb nation ignorant or liar because ignorant people or liars like you do not represent the Serb nation.

And yes, I'm sure that facts sound insane to people brainwashed with myths. You just proved that :)

How do you explain the overwhelming demonization of the Serb nation in western media for 25 years?
(gg, 16 August 2016 17:08)

I can't because I'm not a psychiatrist to be able to explain hallucinations that exist in your head.
(icj1, 16 August 2016 20:14)

It is a fact that western media hardly EVER showed Serb victims in the media. Prove me wrong.
(gg, 16 August 2016 21:40)

Why should I prove you wrong on that?! I wrote nothing about how often Western media showed Serb victims!

Whether "western media hardly EVER showed Serb victims in the media" is irrelevant to prove your unsubstantiated "fact" about the "overwhelming demonization of the Serb nation in western media for 25 years"!

icj - You're getting roasted on this thread!! Even I'm starting to feel sorry for you. Without question, you win the B92 award for typing the most and saying the least! You have mastered the art of talking in circles. Each post from you is more meaningless than the previous one. You've been called out as a liar, a coward, a bigot and a fraud. I see why you ran away from the questions I asked you; you simply dig your self into a deeper hole everytime you do answer someone! Too funny. Hard to believe you can press the send button on some of the things you come up with. Please do keep entertaining us.

aren't there two and only two states a person can be in? can they not either be guilty or not-guilty. that's is it. one or the other. slobo was never fully found to be guilty. there was/is nothing (short of politics) preventing the court to posthumously determine guilt, or non-guilt (innocence). as it stands, he died while on trial. the trial ended without a guilty verdict. as western courts go, you're innocent until proven guilty -- thus a non-verdict directly implies non-guilt which further implies innocence. like it or not.
without the ability to determine guilt within his own trial, tertiary evidence from other trials that involve Slobo have some impact on the lack of decision of his trial. in his he could not be found guilty, and he was also not found to be associated in guilt with karadzic.
no guilty verdict in own trial,
no ability to associate with a criminal enterprise in another trial.
innocence by default may be the official case, but practically speaking the inability to nail guilt down suggest a high degree of lack of evidence to do so, which would further suggest a large semblance of innocence than guilt.
oh and even the court found slobo to be a staunch federalist, a defender of the commie jugoslavia, not a nationalist, like karadzic, and that ilk.

If icj1 is not a psychiatrist, the we can safely conclude that the CB of B92's diagnosis of "hallucinations" or any other neurological disorder is a fictitious figment of icj1's warped mind and not supported by any factual medical evidence. Otherwise, the CB of B92 should support his/her claims and provide us a link to EEG or MRI scans consistent with a diagnosis of "hallucinations".

The entire case against Milosevic and Karadzic was built around the premise of a “Joint Criminal Enterprise” (that Karadzic and Milosevic conspired together to cleanse Bosnia and create a “Greater Serbia” – an accusation that was dropped against Milosevic even during his trial).

Paragraph 9 of the indictment against Karadzic says: "Radovan KARADZIC participated in an overarching joint criminal enterprise to permanently remove Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat inhabitants from the territories of BiH claimed as Bosnian Serb territory by means which included the commission of [crimes]." And in Paragraph 11 the indictment asserts that "Radovan KARADZIC acted in concert with other members of this criminal enterprise including [...] Slobodan MILOSEVIC".

Conversely, paragraph 6 of the indictment against Milosevic says: "Slobodan MILOSEVIC participated in the joint criminal enterprise [...] The purpose of this joint criminal enterprise was the forcible and permanent removal of the majority of non-Serbs, principally Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats, from large areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the commission of crimes." And in Paragraph 7, "The individuals participating in this joint criminal enterprise included Slobodan MILOSEVIC, Radovan KARADZIC, [etc ...]".

The charges against Milosevic and Karadzic have been linked for the Hague for all these years an still are...funny how they are now "separate" for the anti serb bashers...

Wow. icj1, the CB of B92, is now curing people of fictitious diagnoses. icj1's devotion to the medical practices of Mengele is steadfast.

Fact-based medecine requires data such as EEGs and MRI scans to support a diagnosis of a neurological disorder, such as "hallucinations". We can ask icj1 to provide such evidence, but he/she has (miserably) failed to do so on every request.

Dear readers, icj1 is not only a devoted practioner of Mengele medecine, icj1 is also devoted to the warped ICTY standards of evidence. In the warped world of icj1 and ICTY "evidence", fictitious figments and unsubstantiated inferences, in the hollow mind of an accuser, are considered "evidence".

icj1, the CB of B92, repetitively labels people, and even entire ethnic groups, with unsubstantiated claims of neurological disorders. icj1, the CB of B92, unfortunately can not engage in civil discourse without repetitively resorting to bigoted branding of people and ethnic groups.

a story about international crimes of mass murder, whatever stage of the tale it is in is not newsworthy, while the current bbc site has a tale about how some addict was able to kick the monkey off their back without having to go to rehab and have rehabilitation experts help them ween off their personal poison. it is highly charged story of personal triumph, a tale worth noting for ages to come. the butcher of the balkans, and the court's decisions are not the same sweet sweet spun sugar of the sticky story of one person's struggle and the obviously needed made for tv inspirational daytime movie.
