Mladić diary reveals journalist killer?

Belgrade daily Politika writes that Ratko Mladic’s diaries could uncover new leads regarding the 1994 murder of journalist Radoslava Dada Vujasinovic. The diaries of the former military leader of Bosnia's Serbs, who is now a fugitive after being indicted for war crimes and genocide by the Hague Tribunal, were recently handed over to that court. Mladic diary reveals journalist killer? Now the newspaper published what it said were excerpts from the documents – a part of his journals entitled, “The Military Museum”. The entry was written on Tuesday, October 25, 1994, in Banja Dvorovi. Belgrade is referred to as “Bgd”. It is unclear from the text who is the person telling Mladic what follows: “Mico works with Goran (crossed off) Dusan Malovic who is connected with Vukovic Goran (killer of Ljuba Zemunac – a mafia chief in Bgd). They killed journalist Dada Vujasinovic, they’re prepared to do anything… Cafe Metod in Dedinje, Mico and Vukovic meet there and the cafe empties when they talk… Mico says he’s the chief of the underground and overground in Bgd… Mico bragged that he was brought in to take down Lukic and you, which was M. Krajisnik’s game. Krajisnik can’t stand you in the extreme.” The newspaper said it researched the transcript to find out about the persons mentioned in connection to the so far unsolved death of the journalist, found shot dead in her apartment in 1994. The case was initially treated as suicide. Politika writes that Mico Stanisic was born in 1954 in Pale and graduated from the Faculty of Law in Sarajevo. He was appointed minister without portfolio in 1991, became interior minister in the Serb MUP in Bosnia in 1992, and was in charge of public and national security. Stanisic voluntarily surrendered himself to the Hague Tribunal on March 11, 2005. He is standing trial for persecution of non-Serb population from 20 municipalities in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Goran Vukovic aka Majmun (Monkey) and Dusan Malovic were shot and killed in downtown Belgrade on December 12, 1994. Vukovic was known as the murderer of a gangster nicknamed Ljuba Zemunac, but also as the leader of of the so-called Vozdovac Clan, which was at the time considered the most powerful crime group in Belgrade. Rumors said that Vukovic was the first to reveal that some persons from police were involved in drug trafficking, which was considered as the likely cause for his murder. Numerous members of the Vozdovac Clan were also killed shortly after his death. In one of her articles in the early 1990's, Dada Vujasinovic quoted Vukovic, who described Zeljko Raznatovic aka Arkan as a “skillful and able killer”. Malovic was the commander of an RS special police unit, called Pahuljice (Snowflakes), which was under Interior Minister Mico Stanisic’s command. The unit’s members are suspected of committing a massacre of 22 persons, among them children, on November 25, 1992 in Bijeljina.
