Former UN peacekeeper Stefan Van Zanten has accused Hague indictee Croatian General Ante Gotovina of war crimes. Van Zanten accused Gotovina of commanding some areas in Bosnia-Herzegovina where Serb civilians were tortured and killed in 1992, reported Croatian Nova TV, noting that Gotovina's defense team had called the allegations slanderous. UN official accuses Gotovina of war crimes As a UN peacekeeper, Van Zanten served in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992. He spoke about the trauma suffered at the front lines, which caused him to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 19 years later, in a story produced by NCRV and shown on Dutch state television. The peacekeeper recalled scenes of murder, torture and beatings in death camps, the deportation of Serb civilians, and Gotovina, who he said commanded some of the towns where the crimes took places. The Croatian general is on trial for war crimes against Serbs during and after the 1995 Operation Storm, along with two other Croatian generals, Ivan Cermak and Mladen Markac. The prosecution is asking for a sentence of 27 years in prison for Gotovina.
