The Hague does not believe that journalist Jovan Dulovic, who has testified at the Tribunal in the past, is too ill to accept another summons to give evidence. Dulovic, who works for weekly Vreme, has a long history of helping the Hague Tribunal and prosecution. Hague: Vreme journalist is lying It was thanks to his reports from the Vukovar front line and on what took place at the start of that year, that the massacre of 200 Croat prisoners-of-war at the Ovcara farm came to light. He was subsequently summoned to The Hague, where he spent three days with Tribunal investigators. Later, he spent a further three days testifying in the case against former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in October 2002. The journalist also spoke of the crimes in Vukovar before a domestic court at the trial of the direct executioners, and at the trial of the Vukovar Three—Veselin Sljivancanin, Mile Mrksic and Miroslav Radic. The Hague Tribunal summoned Dulovic once again last year, asking him to take the witness stand in the trial of Radical leader Vojislav Seselj. The journalist was unable to attend, citing illness, which was confirmed by complete medical documentation stating that he was not in a fit state to travel to The Hague, having recently, among other things, had one of his legs partially amputated. The Hague, however, does not believe Dulovic and has asked for a second opinion, threatening to subpoena him as a last resort.
