Hague will use recordings, says official

Rasim Ljajic said late on Wednesday that the video and audio recordings seized from the apartment of Ratko Mladic's wife will be used in some Hague trials. The president of the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal explained which trials he had in mind. Hague will use recordings, says official “What we know now is that the recordings will be used in the trials against (Radovan) Karadzic, (Momcilo) Perisic, Jovica Stanisic, General (Zdravko) Tolimir, Stojan Zupljanin, Mica Stanisic...and if the Prosecutor's Office evaluates so, the material will also be used against other indictees before the Hague tribunal,” Ljajic told Serbia's state broadcaster RTS. Director of a government office for cooperation with the Hague Dusan Ignjatovic confirmed to Tanjug earlier on Wednesday that video and audio recordings were seized during the February search of Mladic's family house in Belgrade, but he could not give more details about the contents of the recordings. Former President of the Republika Srpska Radovan Karadzic on Wednesday requested the Hague tribunal to postpone his trial for three weeks in order for his counseling team to have enough time to go through “Mladic's recordings.” Both Karadzic, and Mladic, who is still a fugitive, have been indicted by the Hague court for genocide and war crimes committed during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia.
